Synopsis

The bestselling guide for all foster carers, kinship carers and adopters using the Secure Base Model

All children need to feel secure in their relationships with the adults who look after them. Where children have not experienced sensitive parenting that promotes security and resilience, they find it difficult to trust and will struggle to manage their feelings and behaviour. How can we provide sensitive caregiving that develops secure close relationships? How can children be helped to recover from earlier trauma and fulfil their potential? What can help children develop resilience, self-esteem and the capacity to reflect on their feelings and have hope for the future?

The Secure Base model is widely used in fostering, kinship care and adoption. It is based on theories of attachment and resilience while also drawing on child placement research. It provides a valuable framework and a strengths-based approach for understanding children’s needs and behaviours, and sets out how to support children to thrive and fulfil their potential. This practical guide to the Secure Base model supports foster carers, kinship carers and adopters to understand children’s needs, enhance attachment and resilience, and help children affected by early trauma and loss to heal.
