Total Respect Training

The committee members will complete the Total Respect Training, being facilitated by the Care Leavers team. Total Respect will assist those working within local authorities and other agencies to have a better understanding of young people who are care experienced experiences, by improving the ways in which decision makers listen to and act on children’s wishes and feelings.

 

Total Respect can have the following benefits for participants and local authorities;

 

·           Better understanding of young people’s experiences;

·           Increased confidence and ability to listen and communicate with young people;

·           Improved relationships between workers and young people;

·           More effective decision-making;

·           Improved service delivery; and

·           Better compliance with children’s rights as set out in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and in domestic legislation.
