An equally amazing day 2 of our conference! Tara @TheAdultsChange showed us the impact of when adults change their language & behaviour, whilst @JohnLewisRetail, @UniofSuffolk & our own Family Business highlighted some pathways for care leavers. A big thank you to all who came!

The most amazing day 1 of our 2024 conference - our primary phase day. @SwailesRuth spoke about the need for a child led curriculum & Stephanie @desty shared how & why we need to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma. Plus brilliant workshops. Our secondary day today!

Andrew Baxter (Department of Education), “Care acts as a protective factor that promotes stability. However, we need to offer more support earlier and that is why we have the Extended Duties. That same level of support needs to be in place pre-care”.

So many messages to take away from our conference but two stand out. 1) Education & learning can change the narrative for a child . 2) Relationships do really make all the difference to a child's education. Whatever our role is in a child's life, we can make a difference.

...to Chloe, who was nominated for two awards at the Young Adults Network Awards. Chloe started her career at SCC as a care leaver apprentice & was recognised for her outstanding work within the Leaving Care Team. It was great to celebrate everything she’s achieved – so far!
