This event is designed for new Chairs or those people expecting to take on the role of 'Chair' at Child Protection Case Conferences in the near future.

It addresses the very specific skills, responsibilities and problems faced by Chairs of these case conferences, provides an opportunity to explore the dynamics of such multi-agency meetings and how to ensure effective anti-discriminatory practice in the context of the case conference.

Developing the skills of CP Conference Minute Takers

Wednesday 9th June 2010

This training event is designed to offer those who are responsible for taking minutes at a child protection conference an opportunity to explore the issues around the purpose and process of CP conferences and to enhance their skills in producing an effective and accurate record of the proceedings.

Participants will also explore the emotional impact on minute takers of the content of many CP conferences and how this can impede their primary task of minute taking.

If you would like us to notify you of new conferences and events as they become available then please click here.

All our events can be commissioned to be delivered 'in-house'

In-house training offers many advantages. As well as being a very cost effective way for a group to receive training, we can also tailor the content to specifically address local concerns and team issues
