Think family means securing better outcomes for adults, children and families by coordinating the support and delivery of services from all organisations. In Salford, we want all professionals / practitioners to recognise the importance of this approach and to adopt and embrace it in their work. We are holding this joint event to raise awareness of these reoccurring learning themes and to share good practice guidance. The event will explore how professionals can support children and adults in a more person-centred way, and in the context of the family in which they live.
Aims of the session:
-
Highlighting the importance of a Think Family approach so that children's and adults services work together effectively to safeguard children and adults.
-
Explore what professional curiosity is and recognising the barriers to this
-
Highlight the importance of anti-discriminatory / culturally conscious practice and resources to support this.
-
Explore emerging and reoccurring themes for learning and how these may present in your organisation
-
Consider ways of taking learning back into your organisation and how to improve practice.
