Get Instant Access To The Five Approaches to Life Story Work Workshop
This FREE Workshop is for foster carers, special guardians, adoptive parents and practitioners who want to know more about how to deliver Life Story Work.
The five approaches are five defined methods of Life Story Work that can be used to support care experienced young people. The approaches have recently been published in the British Journal of Social Work. Their aim is to create a common understanding within Life Story Work practice for parents, carers, practitioners and stakeholders. This common understanding can help ensure the right support is provided to young people at the right time and that there is consistency across research, training and practice.
This is an instant-access workshop. Once you sign up, you can watch it straight away or come back and watch at a time that suits you. You’ll also have the option to purchase a CPD certificate to evidence your completion of this valuable Life Story Work workshop.
