Understand why they are separated from their birth family, know who has cared for them and put their past into perspective;

Building self-esteem;

Can aid the expression of wishes and feelings and help children understand and articulate feelings;

Part 6a Memories from the Court Guardian

# data[].attributes.body
Life Journey or Journey through care will be ongoing and is built upon as a progression of work. Children/young people should leave every placement with photo’s and memories.

The journey should tell the story of how the child/young person came to live with their current carers and provides information about their birth family and reasons for decisions as well as hopes and dreams for the future.

It should include timelines for decisions and significant events.  This book will become the child/young person possession and should always be written in a non-judgemental manner.

Undertaking this work as less of an event, but something that progresses to be more in depth in time. The explanation can move with age and therefore a dynamic process that can continually be built on.
