We offer bespoke training sessions (half or full day), drawing on insights from practice and lived experience. Topics include:
- Supporting women who have had children removed from their care: how Pause supports people with complex needs, with a focus on supporting women to process grief and loss following the trauma of child removal
- Working with care-experienced young people: learning from Pause’s pilot programme, supporting care-experienced young women at risk of child removal
- Relationships with children: how to support birth parents to maintain meaningful relationships with their children following removal, drawing on the experiences of women who have worked with Pause
- Working with women in care proceedings: an overview of care proceedings and how best to support adults going through the process (this session is designed for those outside of statutory social work roles)
- ‘Lasagna’: a screening of a powerful play developed by women with experience of the Pause Programme, which is designed to ensure the voices of parents are heard by social care professionals. The play explores the different perspectives of child removal and is followed by a facilitated discussion
- ‘More than What’s Written’: a reflective workshop based around a film co-created with women with experience of the Pause Programme, which explores the impact of language used in care proceedings
Training is delivered on a case-by-case basis and is grounded in trauma-informed, relationship-based approaches. Each session can be tailored to your specific context and needs.
