WORKSHOPS
Bespoke training programmes can cover any aspect of child protection and care social work, working therapeutically to create safe environments for healing and growth and consideration of legal frameworks and processes.
The amount of time, number, choice of topics and delivery format are developed in collaboration with you to meet the unique needs of your organisation and context.
