As part of North East Lincolnshire Safeguarding Children Partnership priorities and key areas of focus, essential partnership training is being delivered in respect of ,
- Risk Analysis Framework
- Neglect
- Child Sexual Abuse
Please can agency leads ensure that practitioners attend the training sessions in supporting their understanding of the local risk assessment model and in recognising and responding to Neglect and Child Sexual Abuse, both of which are priorities for the partnership. There are also details in respect of an introduction to mental health training.
1. Risk Analysis Framework Workshop
The risk Analysis Framework provides a consistent model for the assessment, analysis and management of risk. Any assessment and / or intervention undertaken across the partnership by North East Lincolnshire Children’s Services and partner agencies due to concern about a child’s welfare, or that a child is suffering significant harm, or is likely to do should be underpinned by the North East Lincolnshire RAF. Link to Risk Analysis Framework
This training is recommended for anyone working with children, young people and families and who may regularly attend a Child Protection Conference. The Risk Analysis Framework has replaced the Signs of Safety Framework, so it’s important that that practitioners across all agencies have an understanding of the new framework and how to apply this in practice. Please book your places as soon as possible!
Learning Outcomes: Understand NELC model for assessment, analysis and management of risk; Identify when Risk Analysis Framework should be applied to practice; Identify how to determine what risk and protective factors exist; Recognise which risk factors are the most significant for the child/ family, and likely outcomes; Identify where change is needed and a multi-agency approach.
