This week we had our annual Pride in Practice conference to celebrate the amazing and outstanding practice across Leicestershire Children and Families Service.
Thank you @clentonF for joining us at our leadership conference. You inspired a group of leaders to go out there and cause 'good trouble!' Great session and some many amazing comments and thoughts that came from it.

It was a privilege to listen to @clentonF and @TLAP1 this week at our NQSW Conference. Lots to think about and lots to take away from the session on how we can dismantle barriers and discrimination in our work. What a great turn out!!
