Case Study A - Sam

Sam was just 10 years old when he came to ‘The Marlowe’. He was angry, aggressive and unmanageable. Now he is 15, living in a foster family, working at his GCSEs and hoping to make the County Rugby team this year. He has a real chance of breaking the cycle of three generations of the care system and prison and instead, live a successful and happy adult life.
