This blog is retellings of conversations I had when I worked in schools as children's advocate - with children from the age of 9 upwards. My work was to try to support children and young people to either get heard by other adults and/or deal with the numerous problems they face in their lives. My experience was that they deal routinely with problems most adults would be unable to face and still function.
