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.

Listening to children and young people – How Bright Spots helps local authorities hear their voices
How do local authorities develop services for children in care and care leavers that are actually focused on what they say is most important to them? Join us for this lunchtime webinar which will explore some of the key learning from the Bright Spots Programme which has helped over 80 local authorities across the UK, to listen to what makes life good for more than 25,000 care-experienced children and young people.
Echoes Through Time: The Story of Care
A play created in collaboration with Brian Mullin and care experienced young people as part of Coram's Voices Through Time: The Story of Care programme. A group of care-experienced young people are suspended in time – half in the modern world, half in the world of the Foundling Hospital. As they grapple with the challenges of today’s care system, they explore the stories and experiences of the very first children in care, unearthing common threads of experience across three centuries.
