    This course considers some of the major learning points which have arisen from child death inquiries and serious case reviews. The factors identified will be discussed in the context of assessing a child’s situation and what might influence communication and decision making when interacting with other professionals, children and parents. Throughout the course, a focus remains on the current implementation of the ‘Getting it Right’ agenda (GIRFEC). 

    Aim
    To enhance the degree to which participants communicate and cooperate when contributing to situations where concerns have been raised for a child.

    Objectives

    • To explore some common themes raised during child death inquiries and significant case reviews;
    • To promote partnership and collaborative working by increasing awareness of issues relevant to communication in child welfare practice; and
    • To stimulate effective cooperation by increasing awareness of the Fife Child Wellbeing Pathway and how this relates to both GIRFEC and the Child Protection approaches.

    Learning Outcomes

    • Describe what constitutes sound communication practice within the context of child welfare practice;
    • Identify some of the dynamics which influence assessment and decision making;
    • Define the principles of information sharing; and
    • Contribute to an effective single agency assessment and chronology as part of the Fife child wellbeing pathway.

    Target Group
    For all frontline staff and managers in the public, private and voluntary sectors; including those who have direct, indirect and/or occasional working contact with children, young people and families. It is also relevant to those working in adult services where there is a likelihood that their client base interacts with children. Ideally, participants should already have some basic awareness of child protection issues.
