Reality check: a participation toolkit for adults working with young people leaving care

Based on young people's own accounts, this DVD and toolkit gives care workers a valuable opportunity to reflect on and improve practice.

It provides activities for use within staff teams and with young people. The DVD features six young people who identify gaps in communication between themselves and social workers in leaving care and preparing for the real world. The accompanying training tools: - explore how social workers engage with young people - provide activities for use with staff teams and young people - promote youth participation in decision making. This toolkit is ideal for any care professionals working with young people leaving care.
