Kids Central Toolkit

The Kid Central toolkit was developed in response to a research project conducted by the Institute on experiences of homelessness for accompanying children. As part of the research project, interviews were conducted with children, parents and workers; which found that services greatly benefited from adopting a child-centred approach.

The Kids Central Toolkit aims to provide workers and services with information, resources and tools to use child-centred approaches in their work with children, young people and families.

The Toolkit is based around six key principles that support child-centred practice, and each principle includes a range of tools and resources.

The Toolkit can be purchased in hard-copy, with some of the tools and resources available to download via the link below. The Institute also runs training for workers and services in how to use the Toolkit and develop skills in child-centred practice.
