Attend our CPD session
Re-think: How to overcome professional difference and/or 'stuckness' to keep children at the centre of practice
Presented by:
Sam Nesbit - Portsmouth Safeguarding Children's Partnership Training Manager
Adam Shepherd - Head of Family Safeguarding
More information
'Re-think' is a restorative way of bringing the multi-agency professional network together when there has been a difference of opinion and or a sense that there is limited progress for a family.
In Portsmouth, making, maintaining and mending relationships is seen as a critical part of effective safeguarding practice. When relationships are prioritised within the professional network, children are safer.
Rethink is a response to ensure that the challenges of multi-agency working does not impact on outcomes for children. This session will provide a space to not just think about 'does this work' but also 'what works, for whom, under what circumstances and how.'
