Whose life is it anyway? | S1 | E15

When things go really wrong.  

Today, Rachel, Lucy and Sarah discuss a case where the local authority took parents to court for interfering ‘in a combative way’ in relation to the care package for their child. 

Tough content as we try to hold onto the fact that every person involved with our families -commissioners, young people, parents, practitioners- is human.  

Oh, and an update on Mousegate.  

Trigger warning: animals were harmed during the recording of this episode.
