Mark Riddell is the National Implementation Adviser for Care Leavers at the Department for Education. A care leaver himself, Mark spent years working with a range of organisations to campaign for better support for care leavers before training as a social worker in 1990. In 2017 he received an MBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours list for his outstanding contribution to children in care and care leavers. In this episode, Mark shares his journey, what inspires him, and his advice on how you can lead change, and better support young people to lead the change they want to see for themselves.
