xThe following case studies were co-produced with children and young people, gathering their lived experiences to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
The case studies illustrate what life is like for children and young people across Scotland. They will allow workers to reflect on the impact of aspects of their own practice that they may not have previously considered.
The Children and Families Panel said how important it was that the workforce considered all aspects of a child’s life, including those beyond their own areas of work. A teacher may find learning in the case study on fostering and adoption, or a bus driver might find empathy in understanding issues affecting children seeking asylum.
Learners can use the stories to conduct self-reflective exercises. Trainers can use the case studies as discussion activities for specific learning outcomes.
