What's your favourite text book, which was published over a decade ago, on residential child care that you refer to over and over again? Why not write a book review for the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care explaining why it made a difference in your practice: buff.ly/ricbEdT

Little Star and I made an experimental chocolate cake to celebrate my 10-year anniversary of working at @celcis.org but sadly due to the storm we can't take it to the office and instead have to eat it all ourselves. Apologies colleagues 😘
