In this video we meet Alison, a lesbian with physical disabilities and mental health needs, who at an early age, was put into care.
The social worker provided Alison with the support and understanding she needed. Her experiences of paid carers were less favourable. In the film we learn that training is key to enable good service provision and for social workers to feel confident in providing support for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals.
