Developed and delivered by the children’s charity Coram, the Sibling Time event was piloted in Leicestershire in early August 2023.
The model is based on calls from children in care to stay in contact with siblings and on previous research by the Children’s Commissioner for England which found that good quality sibling contact is associated with positive wellbeing outcomes for children.
The pilot event was attended by ten children and 11 parents and carers.
The three-hour session, funded by the Hadley Trust, was facilitated by nine professionals including staff from Coram’s Activity Days team, social workers and play specialists.
