Looked After Children

Part of Ashwood Associates Other Services

The Ashwood Practice believes that the primary context for therapeutic healing is in the relationships between children/young people and those who look after them and work with them day today :Consultation to Social Workers: making sense of the case/ risk assessment/ risk management/ care planning Consultation to professional networks working with Looked after Children and their parents/ carersConsultation to Foster CarersConsultation to Residential Social WorkersConsultation to adoptive parents/post placement supportConsultation to schoolsConferences and ongoing training

The Ashwood Practice has years of experience of offering services for Looked After Children. Children who come into the Care of the Local Authority have invariably suffered trauma and considerable disruption in their lives and tend to be the most needy children in society with a range of complex emotional and behavioural difficulties.

They offer a challenge to those attempting to think about their needs, to plan for them accordingly and trying to provide a healing environment in which to promote recovery.
