MYTH: You stop being care experienced when you leave care.

FACT: Care experience doesn’t have an age limit.

Leaving care is a change in circumstances, but it doesn’t erase someone’s experiences or the impact they may have had.

Care experienced people can need support, connection and understanding at many different stages of life — whether they’re starting university, becoming a parent, navigating relationships or simply figuring out what comes next.

We have communities for whatever stage of life you’re in. Check them out on our website or send us a wee message here!

In person training coming to you in March! Hurry, places are already going fast for this training 🏃‍♀️

If you work with children who are at risk of serious harm, this training is for you. We will be hosting a two-day CARM training, to assist those working with young people under 18 to explore the use of risk assessment and risk management planning with young people whose behaviours are considered to present with “serious risk of harm”.

🗓️ 2 and 3 March
⏰ 9.30 am – 4.30 pm
📍 University of Strathclyde

Over two days, practitioners will put into practice the use of skills which help guide assessment, intervention and management of cases. These include: risk factor identification, risk formulation, scenario planning and risk management planning. The course aims to place in a practice context the guidance from FRAME and the appended Care and Risk Management guidance, whilst also defining the interface with GIRFEC, Child Protection, and MAPPA.

Places cost £50 per person. Book here:
