This session explores the concept of interdependence for care-experienced young people, challenging the traditional focus on independence during the ‘leaving care’ journey. This session is all about gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges young people face during transitions and learning how to embed interdependence within transition planning. Through practical examples, reflective exercises, and a lived experience perspective, the session will highlight how relationships, belonging, and social-emotional development shape positive long-term outcomes for care leavers. The session will also consider key legislation and external resources to support young people on their ‘leaving care’ journey.
It is important to challenge the traditional focus on independence in leaving care and instead reframe interdependence as essential for a successful transition. By exploring lived experience insights, we can gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by children and young people in transition, particularly care leavers and those moving between homes. Providing practical tools and resources can help foster a sense of belonging and connection, ensuring that care-experienced young people feel supported as they navigate these critical changes in their lives.
The objectives of this course are for participants to:
A shift in priorities for transition planning, moving beyond independence to valuing interdependence as a foundation for long-term well-being.
A deeper understanding of the lived experience of transitions, with strategies to support young people’s social and emotional needs.
Practical tools to promote belonging, creating environments that validate identity and foster strong, supportive relationships.
Empowerment strategies for autonomy and self-identity, equipping young people with the skills and confidence to navigate life beyond care; external tools, resources and approaches to support the transitions journey.
