Reconnecting

• Returning field workers will have experienced and learnt a vast amount, more than can be summarised in a mid-service update interview or a polite question over coffee in the welcome area!
• A perceived lack of interest in this may lead to feelings of disappointment or offence for the returning field worker. 
• Consider how you can communicate that their story and experiences matter, and how you can allow them to share them in an unpressured environment. Ensure the worker’s PACTeam is on hand to spend time with and support them.
