Practitioners help people to reflect on their past and build a positive future by empowering them to grow and thrive.
Narrative practice is based upon the belief that individuals – both adults and children – are the experts of their own lives.
The challenge for all of us who work with children and their families is taking the time to stop and reflect on our purpose. We are privileged to tread within their lives and must therefore give them the honesty and respect they deserve. In doing so, we are able to be truly accountable and professional.
This session will support you to fully understand the principles of narrative practice. You will:
- Explore the importance of the language we use when we are writing about individuals’ lived experiences, including the need to move away from jargon;
- Develop your understanding of how written documents can demonstrate our efforts to truly empathise and connect with individuals;
- Develop confidence and competence in ensuring that we capture information in a way that they can understand and relate to;
- Understand the importance of explaining and analysing in far greater depth, to be accountable for the decisions we make.
Narrative practice focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their challenges. By using externalising questions, practitioners help shift these stories towards highlighting strengths, positive experiences, and achievements.
This session is suitable for:
Anyone working with children and their families who want to ensure that their documents are clear, relevant and accessible.
