Today’s guest blog is by someone I am proud of. I am proud because they have decided to speak the truth around police and county lines, and I think this is a breath of fresh air. This person done something that no one has done before. They apologised to me on behalf of the police….

Come…get comfortable…let me tell you about the Sandwell exploitation summit… On Thursday I was fortunate to be part of something nothing short of epic.

I don’t often get nervous when I ask someone for something. Mainly because I hardly ever reach out. But asking some of the guest bloggers to take part has been hard, because they are all people that I admire in one way or another. Asking today’s guest blogger to write for me was one of…

This might be an angry blog…I’m not sure yet…let’s see how this goes. It’s Mother’s Day today and it can be a hard day for people. One of my best friends lost her mother-in-law very recently. She has been with her husband a lifetime and I can’t imagine what she must feel like to watch…
