Marriage

2022

Marriage (2022) is a British television series starring Nicola Walker as Emma, a solicitor, and Sean Bean as Ian, her unemployed husband of 27 years.

Emma and Ian have a 22-year-old adoptive daughter, Jessica, played by Chantelle Alle.

The adoption of Jessica is not talked about in the family because of the tragedy of Emma and Sean losing their son before.

Jessica does, however, tell her new friend that her parents are white and that she has no interest in finding out about her biological family.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group. See glossary HERE
