Our pals @ReneePorter101 & @tracie_shipton from @VOYCENZ have worked flatout since arriving.
Great sharing and learning. The #carefamily is global. Thanks for your courage & vision.
Glad they finally get to see beauty of Edinburgh.

Early morning train ride to Inverness today to listen at the #corporateparentingconference.
I absolutely love this word “Corporate Parenting”. For me this means EVERYONE is accountable to Young People, Children, and the Care Experienced. #Glasgowyoubeauty
