It is essential that children, their families and foster carers are effectively communicated with when they use children’s social services. To support this, we worked with Tusla - Child and Family Agency to develop a toolkit on the ‘Fundamentals of good communication: How to have effective everyday conversations’. The toolkit will support Tusla - Child and Family Agency staff communicate effectively with people using children’s social services. It aims to help ensure that children, families and foster carers understand what is happening on a day-to-day basis, feel involved in decisions that affect their lives, and have a sense of control regarding their care and support. The toolkit includes key questions to help guide everyday communication as well as practical case studies. View the toolkit: https://lnkd.in/e9VSfBX4
