'How can we effectively be a voice for care-experienced clients and share their stories in court if we do not yet understand, or give visibility to, care experience? For care-experienced people, access to the profession is access to justice'

TESTIMONIALS:

Martin Quinn, Organiser of the NCCTC Commissioners Conference (June 2024):

"Lucy co-chaired and delivered an amazing keynote address at the two-day Commissioners’ Conference. Lucy managed this brilliantly and came across as if she had been doing both for many years! Her keynote was one of the highlights of the two days and delegates have asked if she can come back next year. Lucy speaks with passion and intellect, tailors her involvement to the audience in front of her and I can’t recommend her highly enough."
