Why children become separated and the processes leading up to such separation mean that responses to their individual situations are varied and complex. A separated child cannot just be ‘returned home’ and in many ways the child that ‘returns’ is not the same child that left. In this webinar the practices of separation will be explored as well as how different forms of separation are considered within policy and practice.

This is the first of a series of three webinars to launch the ‘Separated Childhoods’ themed edition of Global Studies of Childhood. The aim of the themed edition was to create the space to gather and share new findings about separated childhoods from around the world, centering on the voices of those with lived experience of separation and on the practical experiences of social service workforce. This webinar series will create space to further discuss the topics around separated childhoods and deepen connections between academic and practitioner research.

Each of the 90 minutes workshops will provide a short presentation from three authors followed by an interactive discussion that we encourage you to get involved in.
