Following on from the Staying Connected Toolkit, AFKA Scotland undertook the ‘Supporting the Workforce in Health and Education to Improve Moves in Children’s Care’ project. This was a collaboration between practitioners and managers in health, education, and social work in Aberdeenshire, NHS Grampian, and AFKA Scotland and was funded by The Promise Partnership and was undertaken between October 2023 and March 2025. This project aimed to support health and education practitioners to be informed and confident in supporting children and young people during moves in their care.
The following resources are now available:
