About the session

Scott will take learners through his own personal experiences. Every move, every hardship, all the ups and all the downs from his perspective as a child and as an adult looking back. 

By understanding Scott and his brother Ben's journeys it will give learners a better insight into how a journey though care and trauma can feel and what it is like in the shoes of a child in care. From this new level of understanding, learners can better understand the children they work for and think differently about the decisions they make.
