More dates are due soon - please contact us for details

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.

This course is co-trained by two very experienced social care practitioners who have many years of practical experience participating in, and Chairing Child Protection Case Conferences.  The course is designed to run with a maximum of 12 participants so early booking is advised to ensure attendance. The relatively small group size will ensure optimum group dynamics and allow each participant to engage in a practical manner during the day.

Developing the skills of CP Conference Minute Takers

Thursday 2nd February 2012

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.
