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

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