It’s all happening in FALKIRK!<\/p>\n

This week Fit for the Future had our first session of Caring Conversations with a group of staff who deliver care at home! This approach has been used before in residential settings – but this is our first try working with\u00a0care at home staff.<\/p>\n

We had really rich discussions where we pushed to think about ‘what it means to be a carer’ and what makes for good interactions.<\/p>\n

The course is really about learning from experience and learning from trying – to support the group to create their own ways of working with each other and the people they support to build brilliant relationships!<\/p>\n

What struck me from our first session was that I had made the\u00a0assumption<\/em> that this group wouldn’t know each other and support each other in the way that residentially based teams would – because they worked solo! But – the members all talked about how they ask each other for support and guidance and value their colleagues!<\/p>\n

We can’t wait to hear (and share!) more from our caring conversations…<\/p>\n
