"So powerful and hard hitting when it comes from the mouth of the people that we as social workers could be writing about. Rebekah's voice will stay with me when I write my case notes and when I speak with my families"
"Rebekah is clearly an excellent communicator and was able to clearly articulate the experiences she had both in care and as an adult. Better than any research. Every word was useful."
"You could not have had more impact. You took substantial risks with your own stories and you challenged the audience to see the world differently in everything that you said"
"Rebekah was a really informative speaker, and it was so valuable to hear from her perspective about how important it is to record accurately and with compassion, from the viewpoint of the child/ren so that when they view their records in the future, it is clear, makes sense and is written with kindness and care. Would really like to hear her speak again and for longer."
"One of the most impactful and relevant training sessions I have had such a great speaker. Rebekah it was so generous of you to use your experience to improve the experience of others. I often get distracted in training and you had my every attention throughout. Thank you.
The care system as told by people who actually get it. One hundred care-experienced voices in the largest known anthology of its kind.
"An incredibly poignant and powerful book, and a must-read for every social worker."
Maris Stratulis, National Director, British Association of Social Workers
