Editor's Notes
Slide 1: Welcome and Introductions (slide 1) - start time, 9:00am/1:00pm (10mins) Complete by 9.10/1.10 The purpose of the presentation is to give an overview of GIRFEC in Edinburgh and to discuss the ways in which its implementation supports early intervention this session builds on the “Introduction to Getting it right for every child ” presentation. Introduce trainers and housekeeping Will be keeping to time – there will be opportunities for questions as we go through but if you don ’t get the chance to raise your point , jot it down and we will collect them at the end. Toilets Break Fire Alarm Mobiles off/ silent Introductions will be limited to individual tables (which will be allocated in advance – 6 people per table)
Slide 5 – Practice model - Start time, 9.30am/1.30pm Complete by 9.35/1.35 You will have read about the Practice model in the introduction on the website: Scottish Government introduced the Getting it right for every child Practice Model as a means of assessing, identifying outcomes and planning support for children, young people and their families. Key components of the Practice model are: Assessment Plan Intervene Review We will be referring to the Practice model as we go through the session
Slide 6 - Continuum of Need and Response - start time, 9:35am/1:35pm. Complete by 9.40/1.35pm In pack - The Continuum of Need and Response - Available on the website The Continuum of Need and Response is a dynamic tool that puts the child at the centre. Emphasise that the majority of children ’s needs can be met in the green section, and introduce the concept of early intervention and de-escalation Hopefully you ’ll recognise the language used in the Continuum in terms of your core business While children may move up the Continuum it is important to remember that one of the key aims is to work towards outcomes that bring them back down, and managed within Universal and Community Services.
Slide 10 - Increased Concerns - Start time, 10.10am/2.15pm. Complete by 10.25/2.30 Handouts – Welfare Concern Form - Available on the website (NB Point out this is the old version which we are using for training purposes – the one on the website for downloading will have the term Integrated Assessment changed to (Shared) Assessment of Need) Concerns are increasing for the child ’s well-being and development the Named person might have received Welfare Concern Forms Go over the WCF (light touch on content, focus on purpose) and discuss how it might be used / what the benefits might be. Feedback tell us that trying to develop consistency around information gathering is important# Ask for experiences of using it from the floor Keep returning to the core questions Recap the de-escalation model – emphasise managing down and engaging and involving outside agencies effectively if judgement is that will effectively address the situation
Slide 13 - Child ’s or Young Person’s Planning Meeting - Start time, 11.10am/3.10pm. Complete by 11.30/3.30 Handout – Child ’s Plan - Available on the website Explanation to participants about the Named Person ’s role in calling the Child planning meeting. Introduce the principle of conducting the CPM using a person centred and solution focused approach. The trainer will explain that training in the person centred and SF approach can be accessed separately. What we are aiming to do in the CPM is to ‘minimise bureaucracy and maximise dialogue’ . Explain the Named person might do some pre- CPM work and try to ascertain who might take on the role of Lead Professional at the meeting Exercise 4 – go through the outline Child's plan , using same example identified in the Shared Assessment exercise to get practice in identifying outcomes, actions etc. Note down actions and examples of outcomes Explanation about the role/ responsibilities of the Lead Professional (move to next slide – may need to work between the two at this point)
Slide 16 – Supporting the delivery - Start time, 11.50am/3.50 pm. Complete by 12.00/4.00 Mainstreaming Getting it right will be achieved through strengthening universal services and working collaboratively. This will enable children ’s/young people needs to be met at the earliest possible stage. Getting it right for every child promotes the same values across all working relationships and makes the most of bringing together each worker ’s expertise. The Children’s Services Management Groups and Local Practitioners’ Getting it right Networks provide a structure that supports practitioners across all agencies. The aim of these groups – which haven ’t all been set up yet – is to oversee and manage the delivery of children and families services at a local level and manage performance based on the agreed priorities. The groups will receive data on progress in agreed areas and will also work collaboratively to remove blocks and barriers to joint working Information about these groups – and their chairs and meeting schedules – will be posted on the web when they are available. The remit and membership is also available and the aim is that managers will report into their own structures but also that the Chairs will meet together and report collectively to CYPSP – move to next slide Emphasise that where existing networks exist then they can serve the purpose of Local Practitioner Networks. Also encourage people to seek out CPD opportunities and also to give us feedback about what else would aid implementation and delivery
