  Episode #6

  Kaz Jac & Joe

  Jul 24, 202621 minS5

  I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Kaz Jack, a Registered Manager with Pebbles Care, based in Penrith, a town close to the English–Scottish border. In this conversation, we explore the importance of relational practice, why connection should always come before correction, and the psychology behind working in a trauma-informed way. Kaz shares valuable insights into how the language we use can either support or inadvertently trigger young people, and explains why thoughtful communication is such a powerful tool in residential child care. What stood out most to me was getting a real sense of who Kaz is as a person and how her values, authenticity, and compassion shape her leadership and practice. It's a conversation full of practical wisdom and reflection that I think will resonate with anyone working with children and young people. So, without further ado, I hope you enjoy this episode of The Residential Child Care Points of View Podcast Global . Here's my conversation with Kaz Jack.

  Angela Griffiths & Joe . Leadership & Management Discussion .

  Jun 22, 202636 minS5

  In this episode I talk to Angela Griffiths who is an independent consultant and trainer about her career & her soon to be published book about leadership and management within residential childcare settings. The yet untitled book offers those with experience and those new to the role with an essential guide to leadership and management . I’m sure you will agree with me that this is a largely unexplored but important role within RCC settings and as such you will take lots from this interview .

  Richard Cross discusses understanding & supporting groups

  Jun 5, 202638 min

  In this episode, I sit down with Richard Cross to explore the often-overlooked topic of group work in residential childcare. Together, we discuss why understanding group dynamics is essential for practitioners, how groups can influence behaviour, belonging, identity, and resilience, and why formal education and training programmes often give this area far less attention than it deserves. Drawing on theory, practice, and real-world experience, we examine how residential childcare workers can become more confident and effective in supporting groups of young people, rather than focusing solely on individuals. If you've ever wondered why some groups thrive, why others struggle, or how practitioners can harness the positive potential of group living, this conversation is for you. This episode challenges us to rethink an important question: Are we adequately preparing residential childcare practitioners to understand and work with groups?
