PLAYING YOUR PART IN A RISK ASSESSMENT (2 DAY COURSE)

ABOUT THE COURSE

We are often asked to participate in work that contributes towards an assessment of the needs of a child and their family, and often there are concerns about the safety of the children. This two day course introduces practitioners to crucial information and helpful practice guidance that will arm them with the skills and confidence to undertake their part in the process.

Based on The Framework of Assessment of Children In Need, as well as knowledge and experience of assessments of children at risk of significant harm, the course has been developed to help practitioners develop their ability to work in this arena in a manner that aims to keep children safe in a way that avoids unnecessary stigmatisation.

Our aim is to engage course delegates in informative and interactive experiences that will help them to understand and play their part in ensuring that the right conclusions are drawn about the families with whom they work.

This two day course is suitable for all childcare practitioners who are involved in work with children at risk of harm and maltreatment from within social services, health, education, early years, youth offending/youth justice teams, fostering and adoption, private and voluntary sectors, community, and the police.
