HeadStart Kent

We have listened to your feedback and this summer we have refreshed what was previously known as the Domains Based Conversation. Now simply called a Resilience Conversation, we have updated the areas of resilience to now include Health, Social Competencies and Positive values have been merged and are now Emotions and Behaviours, Secure Base has been renamed to Feeling Secure, whilst Education, and Friendships remain the same.

We now have a Resilience Talk Kit. This includes two tools, an updated Resilience Conversation tool which you should already be familiar with, and a new Self Reflection tool . The Self Reflection tool enables young people to complete a set of questions around each area of resilience, enabling you to quickly identify if a conversation is necessary. We are currently recommending that Integrated Children’s Services staff continue to use the Resilience Conversation tool, and schools use the Self Reflection tool. However, as we implement these changes we welcome your feedback and suggestions as to what works best in practice. Both tools are supported with detailed guidance, as a well as quick reference flow diagrams.

The full Resilience Talk Kit can be accessed here.
