We facilitate an online community of practice for practitioners working in Scotland to support the sharing of good practice in caring for separated young people. The group meets informally four times a year to share information, research and ideas.
If you would like to be added to the mailing list, please email Maggie Grant (margare.grant@stir.ac.uk). We keep emails to a minimum: a reminder before meetings, follow-up afterwards with any resources that were shared, and the occasional message about events or information directly related to the group’s purpose.
You can find links to resources that were shared by members of the community of practice at previous meetings below. These are shared for information purposes only.
