In this fantastic episode not only does Lisa talk to Ric Flo about music, belonging and care but we release Big and Bold.
Dr Lisa Cherry commissioned Ric Flo to create a piece of music from her research on belonging, communicating some of the themes, direct quotes and general sense of the wisdom given by the research participants.
Our conversation contextualises the whole process.
You can download the song HERE!
We also invite you to make a donation to our chosen charity for the song, who work with care experienced young adults and beyond cultivating a sense of belonging for all those who come into contact with Right Resolution. They are a small charity so every penny really matters and is used on those using the service. Lisa is proud to be the Patron.

Join Lisa Cherry in conversation on a live webinar with Peter Blundell and Danica Darley on boundaries and relational practice. Professional boundaries are there for the safety and security of service users and professionals. However, there are factors that can increase professionals' use of boundaries that can lead to defensive and distance-based practice rather than relational and effective practice.
The best professional social care practice is relational, yet boundaries (if used ineffectively) can interfere rather than foster those relationships.
We are advocating for relationship-based professional boundaries practice, rather than a practice that is distance-based (i.e., creates barriers to relationships and change). We openly advocate for system change.We support safe, reflective and professional practice and are not supportive of practitioners working against systems unsupported, or in ways that could cause them or service users harm.

In this episode, Lisa Cherry is in conversation with Alex Kemp exploring professional kindness, culture and leadership.
Alexander Kemp has been working with children and families for over 20 years. He holds a degree in social work and a masters of public administration. He lives in Brighton with his husband who is a doctor working in intensive care. Alex is care experienced.Alex has worked in senior roles within large organisations specialising in the provision of services to children and families who need help and protection and with children in care and care leavers. Alex worked at Cafcass, the largest employer of social workers in the UK, as an assistant director for a large geographical area of England. In this role, he worked in partnership with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in supporting the British Overseas Territories to develop and improve services for children and families. He trained and coached senior leaders abroad to support their development.
Alexâs last role was in the UK as one of Her Majestyâs Inspectors of childrenâs social care; he is the first known care experienced person to have held this position. He inspected local authorities and other organisations including fostering agencies and childrenâs homes.
Alex is one of only a handful of care experienced people in the UK who have progressed into such senior roles in large organisations responsible for providing help and support to children and families. He believes strongly that expertise by experience is undervalued. He has recently established an organisation which aims to support organisations and practitioners across the helping professions explore how and kindness and reflection influence the way in which professionals work. Alex also hopes to spend some time speaking, training and writing.

Luke Billingham, part-time researcher, part-time youth worker, talks all things about shifting the lens on how we view youth violence, the significance of mattering and how we need to step away from 'boundaries receptacles for blame'.
Here's a link to the "Terrifying abyss of insignificance" paper: https://opo.iisj.net/index.php/osls/article/view/1185/1395
Worth mentioning that the title of that paper is a quote from a brilliant book by Tony Ellis: https://www.routledge.com/Men-Masculinities-and-Violence-An-ethnographic-study/Ellis/p/book/9781138040274)

What happens when youth work, the decimation of preventative services and a community that feels left behind collide? In this collaborative book, Cut Short; Why weâre failing our youth â and how to fix it, Ciaran charts life during the most challenging years of the last decade. The emergence of the VRU in London is recorded as are the real lives of those living in their community as violence escalates against the backdrop or even in response to, the ideology of austerity and a changing political landscape.
I absolutely loved this book and as far as I'm concerned, it is a must read inviting a very real and ongoing call to action.

Sparked by a Twitter conversation, Lisa and Andi deep dive in a more nuanced way than Twitter allows, into thinking about childhood adversity and trauma in the context of criminal justice. How do we ensure that the public are safe, that people take responsibility for their actions and that there are interventions in place that support healing from childhood trauma and adversity?
