Describe and analyse effective ways of supporting /promoting well-being and resilience in the work setting when working with children & young people and others (e.g. carers, SSW, teachers etc.)?

Analyse effective ways of promoting well being and resilience in the work setting

Promoting the well-being of individual children and young people

This is based on understanding of how children and young people develop in their families and communities and addressing their needs at the earliest possible time.
Keeping children and young people safe
Emotional and physical safety is fundamental and is wider than child protection
Putting the child at the centre
Children and young people should have their views listened to and they should be involved in decisions that affect them
Taking a whole child approach
Recognising that what is going on in one part of a child or young person's life can affect many other areas of his or her life
Building on strengths and promoting resilience
Using a child or young person's existing networks and support where possible
Promoting opportunities and valuing diversity
Children and young people should feel valued in all circumstances and practitioners should create opportunities to celebrate diversity
Providing additional help that is appropriate, proportionate and timely
Providing help as early as possible and considering short and long-term needs
Supporting informed choice
Supporting children, young people and families in understanding what help is possible and what their choices may be
Working in partnership with families
Supporting, wherever possible, those who know the child or young person well, know what they need, what works well for them and what may not be helpful
Respecting confidentiality and sharing information
Seeking agreement to share information that is relevant and proportionate while safeguarding children and young people's right to confidentiality
Promoting the same values across all working relationships
Recognising respect, patience, honesty, reliability, resilience and integrity are qualities valued by children, young people, their families and colleagues
Making the most of bringing together each worker's expertise
Respecting the contribution of others and co-operating with them, recognising that sharing responsibility does not mean acting beyond a worker's competence or responsibilities
Co-ordinating help
Recognising that children, young people and their families need practitioners to work together, when appropriate, to provide the best possible help
Building a competent workforce to promote children and young people's well-being


• Parents or carers who are confident and able to bring up their children in a way that promotes positive health and development and emotional wellbeing.
• Consistent information provided for parents or carers, which supports them in their role and is responsive to their needs.
• Appropriate help and support provided for parents or carers who find it hard to access services and professionals.
Carers are involved along with the young people in all aspects of planning relating to care, regular meetings are held with carers and all professionals involved with the family.
