Getting children's voices heard in planning meetings - 1 day
This course is designed for:
- social workers
- family group conference co-ordinators and project managers
- advocates
- reviewing officers.
Participants will have the opportunity to:
- explore ways of getting children’s voices heard in all their planning meetings including: looked after reviews, child protection conferences, family group conferences, planning and action meetings
- consider the role of advocates in all the above
- reflect on the role of the chair in keeping planning meetings child focused.
This course has been very successful when adapted to focus on how teams currently listen to children and how they can improve that in line with recent government recommendations.
