By Your Side resources
Our resources have been specially developed to support you in working with the By Your Side model. The model supports children and the adults who care for them when a child has to move family.
Practitioner Guide
The Practitioner Guide is for professionals who may be supporting the child and adults involved across the transition process.
Works in tandem with our Practitioner Route Training
Foster Carer and Adopter Guide

Not Again, Little Owl
Not Again, Little Owl is a picture book written for children who may have faced several moves.
This story can be used in preparation for a family move and afterwards to develop the child’s understanding.
Foster Carer Transition Form
Our Foster Carer Transition Form provides a detailed pro-forma for foster carers (or other carers) to complete prior to family transition.
The aim is to communicate the ‘lived experience’ of parenting the child and the form is detailed and well structured.
