Direct Work & Explanations for Children & Young People

This one-day workshop will consider 2 essential elements in our work with children, young people, and their families.  

Gaining the child / young persons' 'voice' and lived experience and providing meaningful explanations are central to effective assessment and planning. 

This session will consider: 

• The methods, tools and techniques set within the context of the strength based / relationship-based practice principles.  
• How we gain understanding of the child’s views and lived experiences and integrate this into assessment and planning.  
• The importance of co -created explanations (using the words and pictures principles) to support assessment & planning with a focus on explanations for reason for involvement and plans.

• Must be employed by Leicester City Council
