In this resource:
a. We will first reflect on how traumatic and challenging entering residential child care for the first time may be for children/young people.
b. We will then hear from young people themselves.
c. For the rest of the resource we will consider how we can meet children's/young people's needs and achieve the outcomes set out in Every Child Matters. You will have the opportunity to explore each of these outcomes and work your way through exercises, and to pick up ideas for activities that you can use in your care setting.
d. Finally, in the conclusion, we will round up the main points and there is a small reflective task that you can print out.
