Through supporting your child to experience a range of social situations to build support networks and friendships

  • We ensure safe and appropriate boundaries are in place for our child and encourage them to start to explore boundaries in a safe and supported environment.
  • We support our child in developing healthy, positive relationships.
  • We support our child in becoming more independent.
  • We support our child in maintaining contact with their friends.
  • We support our child in recognising different relationships and developing positive and safe relationships with others, including online.
  • We support our child in understanding where they can access support and how to do this and actively encourage them to build and maintain a support network within and outside the family. We continue to model to our children that we have people we can turn to when we need help and that we seek out help when we need it.
  • We help our child to continue to develop and to maintain a close supportive network and encourage them to include people in their network whose values fit with theirs.
