This course will provide participants with a basic understanding of the Family Partnership practice model that is being rolled out across Salford Children’s Social care. Our Early Help colleagues have been using this practice model for some years, and we chose to adopt the same model to ensure consistency across Salford.
Family Partnership Model is an ‘Asset’ based model which takes a trauma informed approach through partnership, and shared understanding of the family strengths with the child/ren at the centre. The overall aim is to empower and encourage autonomy through better problem-solving abilities to ensure sustained long- term outcomes for children.
Who should attend?
The course is aimed at anyone who may come into contact with children and young people in Salford, such as professionals from health, children’s social care, housing, hospital staff, police, schools, and education (FE/HE), sports and leisure staff, faith and community groups, youth workers and volunteers.
Aims of the course
- Provide an overview of the Family Partnership Model.
- Develop an understanding of how the Family Partnership Model supports professional curiosity and trauma informed practice.
- Share how the Family partnership Model actively promotes the voice of Children & Families to evidence impact and effectiveness.
- Share how the model encourages practitioners to work in a strength-based way with families both in written and direct face to face interventions.
- To strengthen relationships with key partners and promote shared responsibility to support the families to be the best they can.
