#WeLove: sharing COVID-19 best practice

We want to thank you for everything you have done over the past few months to ensure that our young people receive the care and love they deserve during this challenging time.

This crisis has shone a new light on the issues children and young people in and leaving care face but we also know that there’s some great work continuing, particularly around relationship-based and trauma-informed practice. That’s why we launched a new campaign to highlight and document your good practice.

We know that every day our member organisations are living Staf’s values in your support for children and young people – we listen, we care, we love. 

We've now collated responses to the campaign in a new report 'Reflecting on #WeLove' - setting out some of the fantastic practice that has been undertaken by Staf's member organisations across Scotland. You can read the report below and you can see all of the tweets from the campaign in the Twitter thread at the bottom.
