About this episode
The episode features a discussion with Georgie Steele about storytelling and its relation to the social care system, emphasizing the importance of humour and caregiver voices.
In our latest episode of Care Fully Considered we speak to Georgie Steele, a parent carer, storyteller, and theatre performer. We discuss the importance of storytelling and why her theatre show is inspired by a famous children's tale to highlight the ridiculousness of the social care system. We also talk about the importance of caring with a (usually dark) sense of humour, the difference between helpful help and unhelpful help, and the crucial need for the people we care for to have their own voices heard.
