In this episode we talk to Dr Kate Morris, professor of social work at Sheffield University. With over 30 years in and around social work, Kate gives us an in depth understanding of how the profession has changed and we talk about how to change it for the better.

We discuss how the care system became a for profit industry, and how to ensure we can support young people and families before they reach crisis point, looking at the structural issues around why young people are going into care in the first place.

This is an extremely interesting and enlightening conversation, getting to the heart of why the care system is in the state it’s in and how we can move towards something that works in the interest of young people and families.
