What is Looked After Child Limited?
From the UK. this website shares Life Story Work, Blog Posts About Looked after children (Children in care), mental health, addiction and homelessness to name a few things. Our Main Author is Li Jean-Luc Harris who founded the site as a brand. which spun of from his original blog where he used to write and publish his life stories. Although he wanted to build a central place that could offer advice for both Care Workers, but also Children In Care, and care leavers. As well as being able to share stories and create courses for looked after children.
But we are more then just that. Check out our Better Care Goal
Chronology / Life Story Work With Looked After Child
We Believe that every Story is Important, it not only reinforces the story that the Looked After Child has had. to show them how far they have come. but it also gives professionals so much information on how they can improve their work. you see; everyone works differently. one method dose not work for everyone so its important that we adapt and work with different methods. essentially growing a toolkit that can work for everyone

How I become homeless aged 18 and addicted to drugs.
We had all been drinking and smoking Spice; it was Halloween. I was with two friends walking through Dane Park in Margate.

Working as a StockTaker For Retail & Asset Solutions RAS (Formerly Known As OCS) | Life Stories 006
So whats a shift like with Retail Asset Solutions?
It depends. management is where it’s a letdown and the inconsistency of shifts. for example one day I could start a shift at 4 am finish at 12 pm and be on another shift that same day for 8 pm. and this was a common occurrence. breaks were under the discretion of the team leader and shifts could go over 12 hours on a frequent base.
Whats Progression Like For Retail Asset Solutions?
Very small chance of progression. I had seen counters of over 15 years experience never being given an opportunity as they were too good of a counter… also if you don’t drive or can’t attend shifts on your own forget about it…
