Effective assessment in child protection

This 2-day in person training is part of our CP skills programme. It is aimed at qualified social workers.

It will be facilitated by Richard Devine.

Day 1: Avoiding common pitfalls and minimising errors in judgement, and how to use the chronology as the most powerful tool to assess risk and the impact of harm on children.

Day 2: Practical ideas and tools to write evidentially robust, analytical, and child-centred assessments of children and families that make a difference.

Richard is a Consultant Social Worker with over 14 years of experience working with children and families in a child protection context.

He has a Master's in Attachment Studies from Roehampton University, London (2018) and is trained in several attachment procedures. Currently, he is a Visiting Researcher at Cambridge University. He writes one of the UK’s most popular social work blogs, exploring topics such as direct work with children, assessment, and relationship-based practice.
