We believe in our Reflective Supervision model as it creates a relationship that helps staff feel supported. This is why we have designed training to help you develop a reflective culture focusing on the professional supervision of staff members👉https://t.co/IDgr5Z0ezu #edchat

Do you work with care experienced young people? We have drafted a #resilience scale based on existing theory & new research that we hope represents young people's experiences. Pls have a look & let us know what you think: https://t.co/3feZJGB7ig @InCareResearch @SocialWorkEng

[Preet Kaur Gill MP @PreetKGillMP]

Secure transportation providers for children do not report instances of handcuffing or restraint to the appropriate authority. This practice remains unregulated and unmonitored, and this data gap puts vulnerable children at risk. Govt must take action.

“It gave me something to look forward to on Christmas day as there were gifts to open!”

It’s not a lie when we say we need to ENSURE our wonderful students have gifts to open.

I'm pretty certain there are more around the country but so far, these are the Christmas dinners for care leavers... oh how I would have loved this all those years ago.
More important than ever... ❤
