Training for professionals
Maximise your effectiveness with Polish families!
Polish community constitutes one of the largest minority groups in the UK – over 1 million Polish nationals resided in the UK in 2022 (Home Office, Oct 2022). The majority of them are settled and many are fully assimilated into British society. However, some families struggle to adapt to their new reality, having historical issues they have brought with them to the UK, or where they have encountered additional difficulties in functioning as a happy and harmonious family unit.
Our courses will help you explore the issues affecting the lives of Polish people living in the UK so you can recognise them and respond to them with confidence when you work with Polish people or support them in your professional roles.
WORKING WITH POLISH FAMILIES
SPECIFIC ISSUES AFFECTING POLISH FAMILIES
The “Specific issues affecting Polish families” course will give you more in-depth knowledge and understanding of problems within Polish families that require intervention from specialist services. You will learn about the nature of domestic abuse in Polish families and parents’ approaches to raising their children. You will also find out what cultural differences can affect their engagement with services and what support they would receive in their native country. You will find out the impact of bilingualism on child development and specific aspects of working with interpreters.
