Members' Week: Keeping in touch in kinship arrangements

BOOK NOW

In this Members' Week session we are exploring how kinship families can be supported to enable children to stay in touch with the important people in their lives. When a child grows up in kinship care, family roles and relationships often shift and a child’s needs for connections with the important people in their lives can change as they grow and develop.

Using case studies from their own practice experiences, Clare and Ann will reflect together on the uniqueness of each kinship family, what support was needed, and what worked.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN

• Supporting kinship families: Understand the uniqueness of each kinship family through case studies as we discuss what support was needed and what worked.
• How support changes over time: Explore how support needs and future care can change at various stages, and ages, of a child’s journey.  
• Navigating family dynamics: Discuss complex family relationships and their potential to establish lifelong connections and positive support networks for the child.

WHO’S IT FOR?

The session is aimed at foster carers, adopters, care experienced individuals, children’s services, social workers, supervising social workers, managers and anyone interested in exploring the challenges and complexities of care planning in kinship care.  

For social workers, reflection on this session may contribute to your continuing professional development (CPD).
