From children's residential care home key worker to Assistant Director for Children and Families at North Yorkshire County Council, Martin Kelly OBE has a wealth of experience working in the social work sector. In 2015, he led the design and development of the 'No Wrong Door' model - a pioneering way of providing support to young people who are within or on the edge of the care system. Martin says, "I became particularly interested in the whole system thinking, and what more could be done for children to avoid care, and to deal with the consequences of care."
In this final episode for series 3, Martin shares how No Wrong Door has addressed some of the challenges the care system faces, and talks about the successes the approach has had to date for children and young people. Finally, he shares his advice for those of you who would like to set up your own initiative but don't know where to start.
