Practical Workshops

Have you been CAF Practitioner or Manager/Supervisor trained but have not yet been involved in the process?

From time to time we hold Practical Workshops where we are look at real examples in more detail. We look at how the Common Assessment was initiated, the progression, any issues and how they were addressed and the outcomes achieved for the child/young person and family.

We also report on how the Common Assessment is working in Worcestershire with the latest statistics.

The aims of the workshops are to increase practitioner knowledge and confidence around using the CAF process.

Currently there are no future dates set, but if you are interested in attending a Practical Workshop, please e-mail chswforce&pracdev@worcestershire.gov.uk or call a member of the Partnership & Workforce Development Team on 01905 740122, and we will contact you when a future date has been arranged.
