By participating in this webinar, you will:

• Explore the early relational experiences that children and young people in care have had, and how this has impacted their overall development.
• Understand how this can lead to the development of ‘Blocked Trust’.
• Understand what Blocked Trust is and how it impacts a child’s ability to accept care and nurturing.
• Explore what it feels like to care for a child who is in blocked trust and why this feels so hard and draining.
• Understand what is needed for both carer and child to successfully navigate a path through this.
