7 HeadStart Kent Mission Statement and Goals By 2020 Kent young people and their families will have improved resilience, by developing their knowledge and lifelong skills to maximise their own and their peers emotional health and wellbeing; so to navigate their way to support when needed in ways which work for them. There is always someone for me to talk to

8 HeadStart Update: Roll Out of School Groupings and Communities Swale and Gravesham fully operational Resilience Toolkit and Action Plans in place Successful stakeholder events taken place including representatives from Early Help, VCS organisations, adolescent and targeted emotional wellbeing services and schools (primary and secondary) Safe Spaces set up in schools and communities Peer Mentoring schemes established / in the process of being established in schools and communities Domestic abuse incidents notified to trained Designated Safeguarding Leads in schools HSK Senior Early Help Workers allocated cases and have been working with families currently or historically effected by domestic abuse Collection of various data for evaluation purposes, including WMF, case studies and training statistics.

9 Young People Coproduction is a requirement of the Big Lottery everything we do must be in partnership with young people. very active: Locally in Swale as well as centrally in Ashford. Young people continue to play a key role having been involved in the recruitment, commissioning and social marketing of the programme. Coproduction is the responsibility of all our partners. Resilience passports based on the 6 resilience domains have been developed and are currently being evaluated by young people.

10 Resilience Approach School staff in all HeadStart schools across Swale as well as many community partners have been trained in having Domains Based Conversations. In liaison with Early Help, additional intensive training has been given to pastoral teams at some schools where conversations are now underway. Resilience Domains. See Gilligan (1997) and Daniel and Wassell (2002).

11 How HeadStart Kent fits within Early Help Senior Early Help Worker for HeadStart in Swale Cases received via EHN then intensive 1-1 support provided for families and young people: Aged and attend a HeadStart Swale school Current or historic exposure to domestic abuse Possible emotional and mental health difficulties NOTE: The domains tool can be used when having any conversation with any young person, not just with an Early Help case. It can be used alongside Early Help or other procedures as the benefits found are universal Domains based conversations used with the young people I work within these Early Help cases. NOTE: The domains tool can be used when having any conversation with any young person, not just with an Early Help case. #headstartmatters

12 For each case within Early Help... HeadStart and Early Help Signs of Safety Full Family Assessment Voice of the parents, school + professionals Domains Based Conversation

13 Scanned example Completed by young person (voice of the child) #headstartmatters

14 What next? 1. Focus on greens first. What is going well in their lives? Why did you put green for there? 2. Gradually move on to amber and reds ask why they chose that colour. This may happen organically or you may need to ask further questions. 3. Ask what would make a red better? These help form the wellbeing goals. 4. Go back to green to finish on a positive. 5. For an Early Help case this helps complete the Family Assessment. #headstartmatters

15 Benefits of Domains Based Conversations An accessible, visual representation of their lives through the domains. Extra information given. (Particularly with young adolescents who struggle with communicating their feelings) Better suited for adolescents than the three houses - the domains tool offers an excellent alternative. Not designed to create more work! #headstartmatters

16 Carrying out a Review using the Domains Excellent visual progress tracker for the young person and professionals alike Supports the review process A second Domains Based Conversation can be carried out to identify key areas of progress or any setbacks Reds and ambers provide natural next steps #headstartmatters

17 Domains Activity 1. You would normally have the young person with you but for now, think of a young person you ve spoken to or worked with recently remember to keep the young person and their family anonymous. 2. With what you know, RAG rate at least one of the domains for this young person. (You may need to use your professional judgement) 3. Once you ve got a completed domain, discuss how you would use this tool to start and finish your conversation with the young person. 4. Discuss how you could use Domains Based Conversations within your own role/organisation? #headstartmatters
