We all know that Care Experienced people have a greater likelihood of experiencing inequalities. We also know that when ‘care experience’ is coupled with factors such as ‘Sex’, ‘Race’, ‘Disability’ etc. young people talk to us about experiencing ‘double discrimination’.  In this session, let’s be clear about the inequalities faced by Care Experienced people and talk together about the actions we could all take to reduce and eliminate them.

There is on-site parking which is free and the venue does have an onsite restaurant.


Venue is The Concord Museum, Patchway. For directions please see https://aerospacebristol.org/find-us

The focus of WIDA is to provide greater awareness of the global needs to support individual difficulties. WIDA looks at:

• What is disability?
• Triangle of development and skills through sensory, emotional, and cognitive functions.
• Empathy and collaborative support approaches for the difficulties we observe.
• Universal approaches which look to support individuals to strengthen skills, connect through trust, and increase engagement, awareness, independence, and regulation.

Join us for this new course exploring the experiences of care experienced people. The aim of this session is to help adults understand and connect with the needs and experiences of children and young people in care, leaving care and beyond. This is a superb opportunity for practitioners to learn from those with experience of being in care to support the development of their skills and practice. 

The session will be led by Kathy who will be supported by Anna. Kathy and her family were involved in social services for the duration of her childhood. As an adolescent, Kathy was accommodated by the local authority. Kathy’s story is both inspirational and instructive for social care professionals. This session will include:

 Personal narrative and how the stories we are told and tell about ourselves and others impact on our reality and life chances.

Education not necessarily academic, as a route out of a challenging start.

Challenging the damaged goods myth (individual and system based).

Normalising difficult emotions routed in trauma. Building confidence in emotional tolerance and therefore self- esteem
