Duncan Fisher, Child and Family Blog, UK
I co-founded the Child and Family Blog with the partners, Cambridge University, Princeton University and the Jacobs Foundation. The idea emerged from years of work in the child and family sector making the case for difficult changes on the basis of the evidence of improved child welfare and development. I work from Wales in UK.
