Description

The law and processes relating to child protection are complex. Supporting parents faced with this system can be daunting for many reasons. This intermediate level course will use case studies to look at when and how a local authority can be involved in the lives of families. It will consider the duties and responsibilities of children’s social care agencies. The course will also consider best practice in providing parental advocacy. This course will help those providing parental advocacy to improve existing practice, and help those who have not yet provided advocacy to prepare for this role. By the end of the course we hope that you will be more able to support parents whose children are involved with children’s social care. And will be better equipped to build effective partnerships with the local authority.
