Code: SGC/24/0383 Understanding blocked care and the pace model: a training session for foster carers

During the training session foster carers will get a chance to explore the concepts of ‘blocked trust’ and ‘blocked care’ and how these may pose barriers to building relationships with the children they care for. The Dan Hughes model of PACE (Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity, Empathy) will be introduced as one way we can begin to build positive relationships with children.

Luke Dunning has worked as an Educational Psychologist for five years supporting children and young people with a range of special educational needs as well as those with difficult early life experiences and I currently work for South Gloucestershire Educational Psychology Service. Most of my experience in this area however comes from being in foster care myself and the difficult early life experiences which led to this.
