Our monthly Exploring Expertise webinars give practitioners the opportunity to hear from leading figures in practice and research on innovative developments and examples of 'best practice' in the family placement sector. Presentations include Q&A sessions to enable attendees to delve deeper into the subject matter and explore connections to their own practice.

Keeping children in care connected to their cultures

In this session we will share key messages and highlight practice tips for practitioners, managers and organisational leaders. It will provide an overview of the SELF cultural framework. And it will provide an A-to-Z practice prompt to encourage practices that can be more intentional, more curious and more respectful.

Exploring Expertise: Weekend Fostering - a new approach to building lasting relationships with children in care

The Weekenders Programme by Now Foster is a new approach to fostering that offers consistent weekend care, building lasting relationships between new foster carers and children in care. This session will introduce the programme’s approach, how it operates across Greater London to support children in care orders, kinship and SGO care, and what we've learned so far. Designed in partnership with care-experienced young people, Weekenders responds directly to their needs and hopes, and one of those young people will join us for the session.
