Description
Introduction Life story work as a social work technique was developed primarily to meet the needs of children separated from their birth families through adoption or long-term foster care. It comprises three main elements: the gathering up of treasured objects, photographs and mementoes; the creation of a written story that explains the reasons for the child's moves and gives information about birth family members; and the communication of this story to the child in a meaningful way. Some children are actively involved in the work using play, drawing and visits to previous carers, while for others (such as babies going for adoption) the story is written down for them, to ensure that information is available as they grow older. Life story work is a process, not a product, and most children will need to return to it with the support of carers or workers as their understanding of what happened to them changes over time.
