In the days of lovely Twitter I often put out a call for help with research in writing my books. So here goes, Bluskiers.
I'm looking for a social worker (adoption/fostering preferably) and a probation officer who worked between 2008 and 2012, the more senior the better.
Please share :)

So, I got starter-pack FOMO and decided to make one for writing people who know stuff and pass it on through courses, workshops, newsletters etc.
It includes all the savants who teach me stuff. I've probably missed people but these were the ones who sprung to my head.
