Exploring the learning from care leaver and multi-agency professionals.

This podcast was recorded from the end of study symposium held on the 11th September 2024, at Bangor University, North Wales.

This symposium explored and discussed the findings from a Health and Care Research Wales funded study exploring the barriers and enablers to engagement with care leavers across Wales.

The symposium as attended by interested members of the public, care-leavers, academics, and practitioners from across Wales.

The third episode of the Moving Up podcast focuses on researching with and not for and shaping research through co-production.

Presented by Dr Louise Prendergrast, the podcast features Dr Ceryl Teleri Davies and Dr Diane Seddon from Bangor University.

The second episode of Moving Up , which is focused on exploring some of the conversations around a research project, led by Bangor University, working with Gwynedd Council, Conwy County Borough Council, Torfaen Council and Anglesey Council to look at what we can learn from the experiences of young people around working to improve the barriers and the enablers to engagements with care leavers on a multi-agency basis. 

A discussion featuring Dr Ceryl Davies (Bangor University), Louise Prendergrast (Bangor University),  Kate Phillips (Torfaen Councty Council),  Lisa Jones (Conwy County Council), Dafydd Beattie (Conwy County Council).

The conversation focuses on enablers identified by young people, and we'll  discuss some of the barriers that young people face when engaging with services, and a discussion around the outcomes for young people want to have when they're working and engaging with services.

The discussion focuses on what a good worker looks like for young people who are leaving local authority care: what works well, advise for other care leavers and what needs to be developed.

Presented by Dr Ceryl Teleri Davies from Bangor Univeristy, the podcast features Dr Louise Prentergast (Bangor University), Sioned Owen (Aftercare Officer, Gwynedd), Amy Sinclair (Senior Personal Advisor, Gwynedd), Kayla and Eva.

Welcome to the podcast, Moving Up!

We aim to discuss key topics impacting on the barriers and enablers to engagement for care leavers across Wales.

This podcast is based on an all Wales research project funded by Health and Care Research Wales and led by Bangor University.

The contemporary conversations shared throughout this podcast series will focus on giving voice to young people, young adults who have experienced care, and multi-agency practitioners currently working as part of the Welsh care system.

There will also be discussions around the research project and what we learn about the 'lived experiences' of young adults leaving local authority care.

Croeso i'r podlediad Symud i Fyny!

Ein nod yw trafod pynciau allweddol sy'n effeithio ar y rhwystrau a'r galluogwyr i ymgysylltu ar gyfer y rhai sy'n gadael gofal ledled Cymru.

Mae’r podlediad hwn yn seiliedig ar brosiect ymchwil Cymru gyfan wedi ei ariannu gan Ymchwil Iechyd a Gofal Cymru ac a arweinir gan Brifysgol Bangor.

Bydd y sgyrsiau cyfoes a rennir trwy gydol y gyfres bodlediadau hon yn canolbwyntio ar roi llais i bobl ifanc, oedolion ifanc sydd wedi cael profiad o ofal, ac ymarferwyr aml-asiantaethol sy’n gweithio fel rhan o system ofal Cymru ar hyn o bryd.

Bydd trafodaethau hefyd ynghylch y prosiect ymchwil a'r hyn rydym yn ei ddysgu am 'brofiadau byw' oedolion ifanc sy'n gadael gofal awdurdodau lleol.
