Recognising, Understanding & Responding to Neglect A Practical Guide to Using The Family Strengths & Needs Toolkit

This half day online workshop has been designed to give participants practical knowledge on how to use Somerset’s Neglect Toolkit to effectively engage with families on this challenging subject, using the tool to identify and quantify concerns relating to neglect and develop plans to safeguard children.

This course is open and suitable for all frontline practitioners in Somerset and also acts as the ½ day follow up course for practitioners from Children Social Care who have previously attended a full day Recognising, Understanding and Responding to Neglect theory based training.
