helping children move
about the course
Children and young people who are accommodated are too often denied their chance to maintain and build attachments to others. The psychological, emotional and physical health of these children are jeopardised as a result.
Well-managed moves can reduce some of the damage done to these children. This one day course will enable all those involved with children’s placements to reflect on practices and build a greater understanding of how we can help children and young people with the moving on process and make it sensitive to their individual needs.
course aims and objectives
This course aims to:
- Deliver a programme that will enable professionals to understand the importance of preparation for moves and some structure that will guide practices.
- Through discussion, explore and appreciate the different kinds of moves experienced by looked after children and how they will affect the individual child.
- Explore and understand the impact that moving placement can have on all involved.
- Facilitate a better understanding of ways in which children /young people express and internalise the loss and trauma that can become part of the move.
- Provide an opportunity for participants to reflect on their own practices and gain strategies which will build their confidence when dealing with moves in the future.
- Improve practices and hence focus on the child’s experiences of this often traumatic process.
- Provide a safe learning environment which is child focussed at all times.
