Advantaged Thinking Action Pack
The pack explores the 7 Tests of Advantaged Thinking on a practical level, with each of the 51 cards representing an AT skill.
The Action Pack was co-created with members of the Foyer Federation’s network of supported housing projects for young people, which ensures that the realities, challenges and successes of direct working are woven into each activity. It provides an engaging way to regularly focus all staff on different elements of the practice, supporting them to embody the principles in their work and embed AT on a day-to-day basis.
They outline what that skill is, what it looks like in day-to-day practice, and include a related challenge, action or reflection to help bring that element of AT to life.
You can use the cards in a range of circumstances including job interviews, weekly team meetings and in one-to-ones. They’re suitable for anyone you’d like to explore Advantaged Thinking with, including:
- Young people – to develop an understanding of how to work better with others and grow Advantaged Thinking in their lives.
- Staff – to stay accountable about the culture and ethos of how everybody works.
- Partners and services – to create an alliance of Advantaged Thinkers.
- Board and Trustees – to encourage Advantaged Thinking governance.
“Thank you very much for the Advantaged Thinking cards. They are a great tool. We used the ‘talk’ cards in this week’s staff session and it brought out some great ideas and has really assisted the process. They helped create a relaxed atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable contributing. Staff will also be using them with our residents.”a member of the Foyer Federation network
