Satisfaction is a great feeling...

Pleased to see the Scottish Journal of Residential Child Care (SJRCC) now added to @DOAJ. Yay! Top marks to my former colleague @DarcySpiller for piloting this through the inclusion process (and working in conjunction with the journal team).

Attending (and presenting at) #IDCC24 WS1 on #maDMPs at the Surgeons' Hall today.

Great to have IDCC back on-site in Edinburgh (2020 was last time) and to catch up with colleagues from all around the world!

Interesting article! The building in which I currently work is named after him -- and the picture of Curran's unveiling of the plaque looks like it was provided to the BBC by colleagues in Archives & Special Collections.
