Life Story Work
Life Story work is a firmly established part of social work practice with looked after children, and is a valuable range of communication methods with children and young people. Life story work gives the child an opportunity to get accurate information about their family, examine their feelings, understand their troubled past, explain why decisions were made, and offer a chance to build a more secure future.
