‘Enabling Successing for Parents with Care Experience

Delivered with the help of Dr Amy Lynch and Dr Rosie Oswick from the University of Warwick, this interactive session will explore the concept of “successing” in parenting, demonstrating how it is much more a journey and much less a fixed outcome. It will also explore what we can collectively do to better support parents with care experience, drawing on insights from a recent literature review. It is designed for local authority leaving care managers, parenting leads and local health leads who design and develop services for parents with care experience.
