Professor Alyson Rees, in conversation with Lemn Sissay OBE, about his experience in care as a child.
 
In his memoir "My Name Is Why", Sissay reflects on his childhood, self-expression and Britishness, and in doing so, explores the institutional care system, race, family and the meaning of home.
 
We explore Sissay's experience in care, his relationships with his support workers & the messages "My Name Is Why" has for social care.

A genuine STOP PRESS moment – award winning writer Kayleigh Llewellyn has recorded an interview exclusively for ExChange Wales with Professor Donald Forrester.  Kayleigh, who openly discusses the autobiographical nature of her double series ‘In my Skin’, tells Donald about her own experience of an upbringing in a family home with serious mental health and domestic violence issues, portrayed through the main character Bethan.  Kayleigh shares her thoughts on the challenges she faced growing up, messages for health and social care services, kindness of individuals, resilience, and how she deals with difficult issues through humour.  Watch the interview on our YouTube now – it is personal, honest and compelling (podcast coming soon too).  And if you haven’t seen the multi-award winning drama In My Skin, it’s an absolute must watch – series 1 and 2 available on BBC iPlayer.

Co-production is about valuing everyone and understanding that we all have something to contribute to solutions. This podcast, presented by both experts by professionalism and experience, presents co-production from different unique perspectives.
