The practice tools and approaches that are in place to support practitioners to undertake their role
We are supporting our practitioners to deliver the requirements of this practice framework through using the following tools and approaches:
- Access to training centred around strength-based approaches to embed understanding and application of strength based practice.
- Motivational interviewing techniques to develop a focus on strength-based conversations, so people can tell their story in their own words through the use of open questions to encourage reflection.
- Complex Case and Risk Enablement Panels that support practitioners working with risk through, providing challenge, advice, recommendations and validation when faced with significant risk in order to take a positive approach to risk.
- Developing Family Group Conferencing (FGC) or family-led meetings, to work with families to support them to come to their own solutions to challenging circumstances, based on the model of FGC often found in children’s social work.
- Making Safeguarding Personal (MSP) with a key set of tools and resources to use in working with people at risk of abuse so that they achieve the outcomes they identify.
