Meaningful Communication: Advocating for the Wishes and Feelings of Young People with Disabilities – Parts 1 and 2
Join our virtual sessions exploring the additional support and adjustment young people with disabilities may need to fully understand decisions affecting their lives and communicate their wishes and feelings. We will look at some of the tools that could be used and give participants space to think about adapting your own language and communication style.
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.
Trauma-informed support for birth parents to end repeat removals
Pause is a national charity working to improve the lives of women who have had - or are at risk of having - more than one child removed from their care, and the services and systems that affect them. We want to make sure that women who experience or are at risk of the removal of children into care are given the best possible support, so that it never happens more than once.
