| Extra Info | : | Join this free UK Trauma Council webinar to launch our new Department for Education-funded online Community of Practice and hear from leading UK experts supporting children with complex, overlapping needs. Unfortunately, we know that some young people can find themselves in incredibly difficult situations – facing abuse, neglect, home or community violence, economic hardship, and other significant adverse childhood experiences. They can find themselves in a cycle of inequity, with unmet language, learning, education, and mental health needs, and a lack of trusted and safe social support as they move through their childhood and teen years. Often, these young people find themselves bouncing between different professionals and different sectors – particularly in social care, health, education, and sometimes also justice. This not only has devastating consequences for the young people but also highlights the significant commitment of resources required across services. Cross-sector services are full of professionals working hard in busy and stretched teams trying to find solutions to meet the needs of these young people – but often report challenges around meaningful joined-up collaborative working. Connect, the UK Trauma Council's Community of Practice aims to change this. The platform will bring together cross-sector professionals from across the UK, with key input from caregivers and young people with expertise-by-experience, to learn from real-world examples of how professionals and sectors can work together to provide individualised and meaningful support to these young people and help them to live the life they want. Join Prof. Rachel Hiller, Dr Emma Smale, Dr Beverley Barnett-Jones and Dr Kate Ward as they discuss ways forward to working together at this free webinar. This webinar is suitable for professionals from across social care, mental health, education and justice sectors. |
