Course (daytime)

Adopters and Foster Carers / Children and Young People

Professional Development

Children's Social Care / Early Years

The course this year will be split over two days. Day 1 will focus on why contact is important for everyone. Day 2 will look at how we plan for successful contact. Workshop aims: - To know what contact is and can be - To consider research findings to ensure contact is in the child's best interest and promotes security and stability - To consider a range of experiences and what research tells us about them - To consider the potential psychological and emotional impact of contact upon all parties - To consider how to use contact to facilitate and promote healthy relationships We will share with you the 'Voice' of our young people looked after on this subject. In addition to this we will also have an Independent Reviewing Officer present, who will be able to explain the councils policy on Contact and the process required should the amount of contact taking place need to be changed.

Workshop objectives:
- To share experiences of contact and what has worked effectively
- To recognise that children and young people's needs change and that contact should postively reflect this
- To understand the different roles of workers in managing direct contact and how these roles needs to complement and not compete with each other
- To fully consider the child/young person/family/carer perspectives
