Ep 91. Listening to what matters to children in care with Katie

Join Alison as she chats with Katie Oates, Community Nurse with the Children in Care team at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust. Katie shares how attending a Tommy Whitelaw session in 2024 inspired her to start asking one simple but powerful question in her health check conversations with children and young people in care: “What matters to you?” One year on, Katie reflects on what she’s learned and shares some of the heartfelt and honest things young people told her really matter to them. Together, Alison and Katie explore why asking this question - and truly listening to the answer - can make such a difference. This is an insightful and thoughtful conversation, with lessons we can all take away.
