Very useful teaching programme for staff and carers. Clear and easy to follow training package with excelllent working examples, excercises and articles for participants. Explains transition in service users lives, attachments, growing through grief, managing unplanned transitions and the impact on carers and service users when placements end.

I thought there would be more on "closure" in general but thisis mostly about children in care, rather than support workers encouraging independence.
