The need to belong is a fundamental and human motivation yet many children and young people’s experiences of belonging are ruptured across many domains. This essential book explores the different spaces in which children and young people belong and shows how we can cultivate a sense of belonging within our services, schools, communities, and within children themselves.
Chapters break down key research and introduce practices which will inspire change, develop a trauma-informed culture, and show how a relational web of belonging can be built for life. Drawing from the lived experiences of those who have spent time in care, the book highlights everything you need to deepen your understanding of the impact of trauma, inequity and marginalisation in children’s services and education. Advocating for the power of language, leadership, and collective care, a working conceptual model for cultivating belonging is shared, which considers the ‘faces’, ‘spaces’ and ‘places’ that can make a lasting difference. Reflections and practical takeaways are woven throughout to offer an accessible, informative, and thoughtful read, with the child at the centre.
Bringing together professional practice, the ‘science’ behind it, and powerful lived experiences, Weaving a Web of Belonging offers a true insight into cultivating belonging as an antidote to trauma. It is an essential read for all those who are supporting children and young people, especially those who are the most vulnerable, including education practitioners, leaders, social workers, CAMHS and families.
