Children’s Society: Building positive relationships with young people

We continue to hear from children and young people that the interactions they have with professionals can have a profound impact on how they view their experiences of abuse and the support they receive. We’re often asked for guidance on how to best engage with children and young people, and whilst this should always be an individualised approach, this session shares some general ideas and tips based the voices of victims, survivors of exploitation and children and young people more generally.

In this session for professionals, we will;

• Consider aspects of identity and why this is important when working with children and young people

• Consider how biases and assumptions can impact the support a child or young person receives and whether they are perceived as a victim.

• Explore what it means to be trauma informed when working with children and young

• Identify and celebrate examples of building successful relationships with young people

• Share tips and examples of promising practice that you can use within your role
