Supporting Children in Public Care in Schools is a training package
designed for delivery to teachers, social workers, carers and all
those supporting young people who are in public care. Based on
collaborative multi-agency and multi-professional work with
psychologists, teachers and social workers, Supporting Children in
Public Care in Schools focuses on the different types of loss that
children in care may experience as a result of significant changes
in placement, such as the loss of family, friends, routine and the
familiar school environment. The training pack includes
photocopiable material and instructions for more than a dozen
training sessions. These address a range of issues including why
young people are in care, how feelings of loss relate to the
experience of being in care and how being in care may affect
education, attainment and emotional attachment. There is a focus on
making any necessary school transitions work effectively in order
to provide educational stability in a young person's life. The
authors realise that the transition into school is a key event, so
it is crucial that it is carefully planned, that there is a
positive welcoming ethos and that there is effective communication
within the school. The flexible modular structure of this resource
means that sessions can be planned around trainee's needs and can
be delivered as single topics if required. Each training module
includes group activities, templates for OHP transparencies,
handouts for trainees and a bibliography. This much-needed training
package raises awareness of the experiences of young people in
public care and provides essential guidance for staff in schools or
other settings on how to assist young people through corporate
parenting, smooth transitions into school, designated teachers and
personal education plans.
