My sister-in-law Marion Davis, who has died aged 67 from complications associated with Parkinson’s disease, was a social worker and a passionate advocate for children’s services. She argued that “the voice and the needs of the child … must always be heard”.
Her concern for children’s wellbeing was pivotal when she was appointed vice-president and then president of the Association of Directors of Children’s Services from 2009 to 2011, and as a member of the expert reference group who worked on the Munro review of child protection in 2011.
