Utterly beautiful. Thank you Remembering Ian Dickson Humbled to be able to share a profession with you.
Remembering Ian Dickson Article 39 Sue Dickson 💙 As a care experienced adult I felt reassurance that my experience would not be so easily repeated in today's system because there are social workers like you to ensure the children receive CARE, I am sure that because of you and your work many do so, thank you for being that hope
