Children's Homes Quality
Supporting children's homes to provide outstanding care
At CHQ, we are committed to empowering you to make a real difference in the lives of children. All courses are underpinned by a sound knowledge of Children's Homes Regulations and Guidance and are attachment and trauma-informed. We have the following sessions coming up over the next few months:
Risk Assessment Workshop Embedding Effective Risk Management Systems in Children’s Homes March 4th
Risk assessing forms a vital part of keeping the children in our care safe, but with little guidance out there about how to do this effectively, it can be a challenge to know that we are getting it right and that risk assessments are actually helping to keep children safe.
Registered managers’ Training Day – March 14th
A day with Valerie Tulloch, face-to-face, in central London. A day to step back and look at your practice and role, gather fresh understanding of the regulatory responsibilities that underpin your practice and practical information to enhance your leadership. This is a sharing space for managers to learn from each other and a reflective space to consider your own personal development needs.
‘An incredible day which has given me an abundance of knowledge’ I have learnt so much from this training course and I will be putting into practice the knowledge and skills’
Lovin' Care - creating the conditions where love can safely flourish in Children's Homes April 10th
This is a game-changing and crucial training for leaders in children’s homes. In it you will explore how to create the conditions where love can safely thrive between the children you care for and the adults who do the caring. All children (well, human beings, actually) need to feel emotionally connected to others if they are going to thrive. We must rise to the challenge and make love possible.??
‘It was great to hear such refreshing content.’
‘Very informative and good group participation’
Reflective Supervision Skills, April 16th
“Really informative …… Especially impressed with the delivery through virtual video session”. “The tutor was excellent. I really loved her approach to learning and intuition for the whole care sector. She really knows this inside out and it shows. Excellent slides and info.”
Missing from care – best practice training for leaders of children’s homes. April 22nd
One in every ten looked-after children will go missing compared to an estimated one in every two hundred children generally. This disproportionately high number places a responsibility on children’s homes to understand the key factors contributing to children in care going missing and to respond with the best possible practice.

Quest for Safety – Attachment, Trauma, and Therapeutic Re-parenting in Children’s Homes - 3 x 3-hour sessions(virtual) or 3 x 4-hour sessions face to-face
An evidence-based, deep dive into children’s attachment needs, the impact of disrupted attachment and childhood trauma, and a practical and effective therapeutic re-parenting approach to use in children’s homes. The course will support the development and best use of positive relationships and attachment and trauma-sensitive approaches with young people who feel unsafe and resist closeness because of their childhood trauma. It helps staff understand what is needed to help children to recover and thrive and how to give it.
The 3rd section of Quest for Safety is Staff Care for Resilience in Therapeutic Re-parenting. This can be delivered as a stand-alone session, ideally but not exclusively, for teams who have already had training in attachment and trauma-informed practice.

Can we, as the adults who care for these exceptional children and young people, truly understand what it means or how our emotions might affect them if we are unaware? ?By gaining fundamental knowledge of Emotional Intelligence, we can understand our own emotions and those of the people around us, including our teammates. This knowledge empowers us to lead happier and more productive lives, fostering positive team dynamics and inspiring the children and young people to achieve their full potential.
