Course Description:
This framework aims to bring together what we have learned and what our families tell us works, when providing quality support to children and families. With relational and restorative practice at the core, this framework guides us on how we can remove barriers which can prevent families from accessing our services when experiencing poverty.
The information laid out in the Poverty Aware Practice section will help practitioners to understand and support people living with poverty, and by doing so, move the service closer to achieving the eleven priorities set out in the Children and Young Peoples Plan.
