Consultancy

Why Holistic Attachment Services (HAS) is right for you: We recognise that there is a distinct lack of diversity among foster carers and adopters who are able to provide a ‘forever homes’ to ethnic minority children in care. This increasing issue has attracted much debate and scrutiny as many of these children remain in care for prolonged periods. It is also clear that this lack of diversity has a huge impact on the identity needs and inclusion for ethnic minority children, impacting their longer term outcomes.

Whilst many organisations engage in activities to promote diversity and inclusion among the children and families that they work with, it is noticeable that this does not always work and is not revisited to ensure a robust service is delivered to clients. Only by developing diverse policies, delivering cultural awareness training and supporting organisations to move forward in their thinking can we address this issue.

What can we offer?

Free 30 minute consultation

Our initial 30 minute consultation provides scope to ascertain if we are able to assist with the specified needs of a client. You then have the option of booking a customised care consultation to aid you on your care journey, with the option to pursue recommendations.

Our consultations can be negotiated by any agency or Local Authority where there is a need for either individual specialised work relating to a specific family or where an agency or Local Authority wish to improve the diversity of the services that they provide. We can also offer advice and support regarding service development within children’s services.
