MRC: The Role of Empathy in Relationship-Based Practice

This webinar is the first webinar in a series of four. This series of four webinars seeks to explore the process of relationship building in work with children, young people and their families. The quality of the relationship is consistently identified as a key feature of the quality of both the practice and whether positive outcomes are achieved. Nevertheless, relationship building in the context of children’s social care can be complex, emotive, and demanding. These webinars will, drawing on both current and seminal research, look at some of the complexities of relationship building. They will highlight the importance of self-awareness, features of good practice, the pitfalls, and traps we can fall into, and how these can be avoided.
