Looking After Children (LAC) | The Centre
November 24 @ 9:30 am - 1:30 pm
The Looking After Children (LAC) training supports practitioners working with children and young people in out‑of‑home care to strengthen the quality and consistency of care and case planning. LAC is a child‑centred practice framework that provides a holistic approach to understanding a young person’s needs, strengths and progress across key life areas.
The training positions LAC as more than a set of tools or documents, focusing instead on how the framework supports reflective, developmentally appropriate practice that connects care planning with meaningful day‑to‑day work.
