The masterclasses aim to enable foster carers, supervising social workers, teachers, teaching assistants, health professionals, and youth justice staff to gain the skills and confidence needed to help inspire children and young people to fulfil their potential.

Participants will leave each session with theories, practical tools, and additional materials that can be used straight away to enhance practice. One of our key aims is to ensure continuity of support for wellbeing and learning between home and school. The five masterclasses are based on the principle of ‘supporting children and young people through strong meaningful relationships.’

The Masterclass dates are:

Masterclass 1 Monday 6th November

Masterclass 2 Tuesday 14th November
