Graphic of a figure kneeling to help another person up on top of two large books stacked like steps suggesting support and collaboration. Above is a quote from Rowan Anderson, Programme Lead at Corra and commissioner and co-collaborator on the My Care Record project that reads "How we shift the power is vital. How we can create the conditions where someone can be the voice of their own story and that's valued and impactful and not tokenistic."
