Breaking Down Barriers to Thriving for Looked After Children

Whilst we would always hope to define our students by their strengths, not their challenges, it is important for us to recognise the common barriers to thriving faced by looked after children so that we can actively seek to break them down or support the child to overcome them.  During this session, we’ll consider what the common barriers are, how our environments can be adapted, what we as adults can do to support and how we can help children develop the skills and understanding needed to overcome some barriers themselves. 

Session Takeaways:

1. See the world and its challenges from the point of view of looked after children
2. Explore simple, impactful changes we can make to the environment and our approach
3. Consider what thriving looks like for Children in Care and what skills and experiences they most need
