Working Together to Safeguard Children, Two Day Workshop
Created: 12/10/2016This 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.

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.
