Effective assessment in child protection

This 2-day in person training is part of our CP skills programme. It is aimed at qualified social workers.

It will be facilitated by Richard Devine.

Please note that the date is yet to be confirmed. It is likely to take place early july or september 25. 

Day 1: Avoiding common

pitfalls and minimising errors in judgement, and how to use the chronology as the most powerful tool to assess risk and the impact of harm on children.

Day 2: Practical ideas and tools to write evidentially robust, analytical, and child-centred assessments of children and families that make a difference.

Richard is a Consultant Social Worker with over 14 years of experience working with children and families in a child protection context.

He has a Master's in Attachment Studies from Roehampton University, London (2018) and is trained in several attachment procedures. Currently, he is a Visiting Researcher at Cambridge University. He writes one of the UK’s most popular social work blogs, exploring topics such as direct work with children, assessment, and relationship-based practice.
