Encompass Family & Community – Digging Deeper: cultivating expertise in risk assessment

Online workshop across two sessions, on best practice in risk assessment 

Encompass Family & Community presents Digging Deeper – cultivating expertise in risk assessment

Is risk assessment still relevant in child protection when you work from a strengths-based framework with families?  Of course!  Assessing risk remains at the core of protecting children and young people. Yet what some find tricky is how to integrate the risk assessment process with a strengths-oriented approach to practice.  This workshop ‘digs deeper’ into this question, reviewing contemporary understandings of the concepts and skills critical to risk assessment and exploring how to successfully enact these in practice while working to engage with families around the safety of their children.  The complexities of this work are enormous, as is the responsibility to ‘get it right’.  Informed by contemporary research and thinking, this workshop provides the opportunity to explore your understanding and approach to risk assessment and where it fits with frameworks for inclusive engagement and work with families.

Date: Tuesday, 10th September to Wednesday, 11th September – 9.30am to 12.3opm

Venue: Online via Zoom
