In this episode Saul and Andrew speak with Jarrod Wheatley OAM about his work in challenging the status quo in the out of home care sector and showing what’s possible when you prioritise connection over protection with children in care. 

Jarrod is the founder and CEO of Professional Individualised Care (PIC). Most recently, Jarrod has co-founded the Centre for Relational Care (CRC) to achieve foundational policy, legislative and regulatory changes to the NSW child protection and out of home care system.
