Writing in marginalised voices

The stories below are fictionalised accounts taken from our research, our practice and our lives. While we have been creative in our accounting the stories are real, the examples used were told in interviews and focus groups. We have chosen these particular stories and voices as they continue to exist in the margins service provision and professional discourse. Our desire in this chapter is to centre these voices and not dilute them with the voices of so-called experts, either academic or professional. The voice of professional practice is given space in the chorus.
