By Your Side Foster Carer and Adopter Guide: support for children moving families by Vivien Norris

The Foster Carer and Adopter Guide is directed towards foster carers and prospective adopters (as well as their supporting professionals) and provides a detailed description of the By Your Side model.

The guide outlines the key principles of the model, describes what the direct work involves and what foster carers and adopters can do to help the child. It includes examples and scenarios throughout and dedicates a whole section on helpful ways to talk in everyday situations.

The guide is written in an accessible and clear way and can be used as a structured approach to support a transition or can be adapted to suit the situation.

By Your Side is an attachment and trauma-informed model for supporting children and the adults who care for them across the transition from foster care to adoption. It can be adapted for other family situations where children move family.

By Your Side was developed by The Family Place following many years’ experience supporting vulnerable children as they move family. The model is based on our growing understanding of the impacts of developmental trauma on children and it uses best practice intervention approaches, based primarily on TheraplayⓇ and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy
