Stepping Up

Sarah Turner

2023

Stepping Up is Sarah Turner's debut novel. It is the heartwarming story of Beth whose life is irrecovably changed when she takes in and becomes the guardian for her niece and nephew because of a family tragedy.

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
