AIFS webinar: Supporting young parents with an out-of-home care experience

This webinar will interest practitioners working in the child, family, community and welfare sectors who encounter or directly work with young parents who have experience in OOHC. Hear researcher, practitioner and service user insights about supporting young parents with an OOHC experience.
It covers:
• Ways to approach young parents with experience of the OOHC system
• How to approach and understand young parents’ motivations to become parents
• The paradox of 'surveillance bias' and the potential risks of protective interventions
• How healing relational trauma and loss is key to preventing intergenerational child protection involvement
• Key elements of the practice model – peer work, partnerships

This webinar is produced in collaboration with the National Association for Prevention of Child abuse and Neglect (NAPCAN) for National Child Protection Week. AIFS supports this campaign and embraces the theme that ‘Every child, in every community, needs a fair go’.
