@coventryDCS @colinbarr1 Huge Kudos to you, John and Colin. You must of worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring this to fruition. There must have been countless challenges and barriers, & it takes fortitude to over come them & a willingness to take a risk.

[Richard Devine @RichardDevineSW]

I’m profoundly grateful to the children and parents who agreed to take part and share the most intimate parts of their life.

Also, huge respect to Coventry and for agreeing to film

Three quarters through the first episode of #kids and I think it's the most impressive representation of the challenges and privileges of being a social worker, and the most sensitive, thoughtful insight into the lives of young people unable to remain at home

1/8 A 🧵…
As a child protection social worker you work with some of the most troubled, dangerous, vulnerable, victimised and traumatised members of our society.

They have severe drug or alcohol problems, mental health issues and domestically violent relationships.
