Had the privilege today of hearing @li_harris’s story of his experiences of growing up in care and children’s mental health services. Was heartbreaking and utterly inspiring in equal measure, and is a story everybody should hear and learn from. Check out https://lookedafterchild.com

Li is determined, motivated and has worked to build a better life for himself. With this comes empathy for others and an understanding of people and hurdles they may face. He should be proud of his achievements so far and I am sure there are many more to come

Li has some of the best experience when working with vulnerable children as he was also one himself. Dedicated to the role he will learn as much as he can and then more just to make sure he can do everything he possibly can for them.
