Children in Scotland

This event is in the past

Key Learning :

- Increased confidence in undertaking assessments of children and young people’s relationships with their parents/carers

- Improved knowledge of theory, methodology and tools that can be used to assess children’s relationships

- Developed understanding of observation and analyses. 

This training is aimed at anyone involved in undertaking or contributing the assessment of parent-child relationships.

Background:

This in-depth online training focuses on the theory, methods and tools that can be used to assess children and young people’s relationships with their parents/carers.

These skills can be applied when writing reports and recommending interventions to support children and young people.

By using a strengths-based method, practitioners can see what works, while not ignoring areas of risk or development.

Explore how ethical processes, such as the ‘Exchange Model,’ can be applied alongside a values-based, dynamic approach to ensure reports and recommendations are suitable.

Learn how a ‘co-construction’ approach to reports can amplify the voices of parents/carers/children.

Facilitator

Sandra Strathie has worked across the UK and internationally as a trainer and on workforce development projects. She is a published author on attunement in practice for family work and educational development.

Sandra is interested in practical day to day methods that can be used in the workplace that professionals can utilise to better understand and develop satisfying relationships through attuned practices, as this leads to wellbeing not only for children, but in families, with staff and for ourselves.

Dealing with conflict and managing groups are areas of expertise for Sandra having previously worked as a tutor for the University of Dundee, as a Learning and Workforce Development Officer and as a consultant and mentor to several large voluntary organisations and Local Authorities.
