Reflective Practice: our RELATE approach

Historically The DECC Services has facilitated Reflective Practice in a range of settings and groups, such as in Children's Homes, with Foster Carers and Leaving Care, UASC and Specialist Migration Teams.

To do this we draw on our RELATE approach, which brings a relational and psycho-educative perspective to reflecting on practice. It aims to build confidence and resilience for professionals and carers who are putting therapeutic parenting ideas and trauma informed practice into action.

From January 2026 we will be launching a new way to sustain these reflective and trauma informed practices across a broader reach in Derby and Derbyshire.

More information about this will be available in due course.
