Creating a Christmas that Works for Children in Care: Collaboration, Understanding and Sensitivity (Careknowledge – free)

Moving children and young people in care from one placement to another in the run up to Christmas is an unfortunate but sometimes necessary choice. Children and young people may be navigating anxiety around uncertainty, travel plans to be able to see their birth family, distress from past traumas around Christmas and the festive period or may be concerned that their own religious or cultural traditions may not be supported by their new placement.

Through three conversations with experts, you will be asked to consider how you might support children and young people in care during this busy and potentially stressful time. Communication, professional curiosity, and collaboration is crucial here. But what does that look and feel like for children and young people? Centring children and young people in their care and support plans is always key, but important personal dates such as birthdays and culturally important festivals such as Christmas, Diwali or Hannukah can carry even more weight.

This invitation is open to all those who work with children and young people, so please do share the details with your colleagues – we know how much is at stake personally and professionally, and we want to make sure this webinar reaches everyone who feels they will benefit from it.  If you would like to attend this webinar please click here to register your place and find out more about this event.
