Living with Strangers

These courses, led by care experienced practitioners, use a combination of perspectives to gain insight into a young persons journey through care.

We have blended the direct experiences of
 young people, foster carers and practitioners and produced a video that will be used as a basis for workshop style activities.​
To gain maximum benefit from the courses, we suggested participants attend as part of a cohort – enabling the group to develop through both individual and peer learning. The group experience provides a safe place to explore ideas of ‘high support / high challenge’.

Topics covered include;


DAY 1 - Direct work skills for practice
DAY 2 - Moving in
DAY 3 - Making a home
DAY 4 - Making a difference
DAY 5 - Moving on

Who should attend?

Social Workers, Personal Advisors, Foster Carers and other professionals working directly with young people in care and leaving care.

Course Objectives
  • For participants to reflect on their own practice as they hear the direct voice of children and young people
  • To gain an understanding of the care and leaving care system from first-hand accounts
  • To fully understand the needs of young people and how best to support them as they experience care and prepare for adulthood
  • As part of a group to support and challenge participants to improve and develop practice

Duration
Each day is 4.5 hours
