The Sally Lockhart Mysteries

2006

The Sally Lockhart Mysteries (2006) is an adaptation of books written by Care Experienced Writer Philip Pullman.

In the first episode, The Ruby in the Smoke, recently orphaned Sally (Billie Piper) is tired of living with her aunt. She moves in with new friends who help her discover why a Mrs Holland (Julie Waters) is intent on killing her.

In the second episode, Sally has become a successful financial consultant. When she finds out a client has been cheated by wealthy a industrialist, she sets out to right the wrong.

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
