A ladder to the stars: Ian Dickson’s reflections on 70 years of the care system
Between January and July 2022, Article 39’s Director, Carolyne Willow, and Ian Dickson held a series of conversations over Zoom to record his reflections on growing up in care, and how he has devoted his adult life to making sure children are loved, valued and can fulfil their dreams.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination.

The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
