Advocacy Masterclass: Non Instructed Complaints
Learn about the challenges of non-instructed advocacy (NIA) complaints and receive useful practical tips on how to go about making them. This will include reflecting on how to appropriately word and structure NIA complaints, as well as how to ensure they remain within advocacy boundaries so they most likely achieve positive advocacy outcomes. Participants will be expected to have already undertaken NIA training and/or had significant experience of advocating for young people on a non-instructed basis. Some prior knowledge of the Children Act complaints process will be useful.
Pathway Planning Masterclass
Take part in our one-hour masterclass aimed at giving a brief yet detailed snapshot on pathway planning for all children in care from the age of 16 and care leavers up to age 21/25. The session will explore what we can do as advocates to support young people in the process and how to challenge a poor plan.
An introduction to private fostering
This course is an opportunity to explore the legal and practice framework of private fostering, including thinking about how to identify and work with this often unseen group of children. It will include explanation of the respective responsibilities of parents, private foster carers and local authorities, when private fostering arrangements are made. Since the war in Ukraine, some Ukrainian children who have travelled to the UK for safety, are living in private fostering arrangements, and this introductory course will also briefly explore their needs.
