Description
The founder of Kids Company lays out the model of care that broke the cycle of neglect for thousands of vulnerable children. She reveals the scale of Britain's failure in children's services, making public two decades of candid exchanges with prime ministers and senior politicians to explain why the sector has not improved since Victorian times.
