We’re delighted to announce our forthcoming free lunchtime webinar series on Relational Practice, designed in particular (but not exclusively) for practitioners supporting care experienced young people. Funded by Esmée Fairbairn Foundation’s Leaving Care Learning Programme, the webinar series is jointly hosted by the National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum and ThemPra Social Pedagogy CIC.
Over the 7 webinars, we’ll share valuable insights and practical strategies to enhance relational working. In between each webinar, we’ll also host Community of Practice sessions designed to let you explore how you can further embed relational work in your practice context. All sessions are open to everyone, and you can register for free via the below links.
