Maintaining Placements

MAINTAINING PLACEMENTS (1 DAY COURSE)

ABOUT THE COURSE

There has been a great deal of government and professional concern outlined in the Quality Protects document over recent years concerning the high level of placement disruptions and number of moves which children are experiencing when accommodated.

It is vital for a child's appropriate development, self-esteem and overall well-being that they feels safe and secure in placements and have a sense of belonging. We are all aware of the damaging and disastrous effect that change and disruption can have on children, as well as adults and carers.

To this end we have designed a one day course which enables carers and professionals to look at the issues involved in maintaining placements. It is designed to raise their awareness and understanding thus building their confidence in handling the issues by offering a practice based, tried and tested approach which has been successful. It is guaranteed to give best value.

This course aims to:

Provide practical and effective advice to carers and professionals about how they can maintain placements.
