This keynote explores the lived experiences of care, looking at what it is like in school, how recording and language can cause stigma and what we can do to build meaningful relationships with children and their families.
‘Leading’ Care: The Lived Experience of Leaving Care
Young people don’t leave care; care leaves them and they are left to lead their own lives. This keynote helps you understand the lived experiences of young people leaving care and what you can do to support them.
Lived Experience Leadership: Engaging Lived Experience into Service Delivery
We all want to engage with lived experience so that we can develop services with the views of those who have experienced them. This keynote explores lived experience leadership and how professional leaders can work alongside those with lived experience effectively.
We believe foster carers should be provided with adequate training so that they can give children loving homes.
