Social Care

This area is aimed at people who work with children, young people or families in schools, youth clubs, social care services, residential homes and any other settings beyond specialist HIV provision. It provides information which may be useful if you come to work with children, young people and their families who are living with HIV in these wider settings.

We encourage you to:  

• find out if there are any specialist services in your area, that support children, young people and families living with HIV
• broaden your understanding of HIV and what it means for families who live with it
• find specific information about HIV in education, including our HIV in Schools Guidance, and HIV in Schools summary document, plus other information in our resource library, including Studying with HIV.

The video below explores one-to-one work. It is aimed at professionals providing support and care for children and young people living with HIV.
