Description
Edwin's calm tone is a rare sight in Britain's care homes and supported housing projects. As a youth worker, he faces daily challenges, from dealing with volatile residents to navigating complex social services. In this unflinching account, Winston Smith shares his experiences working with young people who have been failed by the system. The realities of life in these settings are stark: violence, despair, and desperation. Yet, amidst the chaos, Edwin's professionalism and empathy shine through. This book offers a searing portrayal of a profession on the front line, where staff members must confront their own limits and the harsh consequences of failure. Through his story, Winston Smith sheds light on the often-overlooked world of youth work, revealing the human cost of inadequate support systems and the resilience of those who struggle to survive.
