Venue: Tavistock Centre, London
The government's response to the Victoria Climbié inquiry has provided an opportunity to acknowledge how serious child protection work is. The report highlights once again the difficulties of inter-agency working and communication. The work of child protection is stressful and emotionally demanding and the emotionally painful dynamics engendered by child protection work can make decision making very complex and difficult. Numerous inquiries have pointed out the need for staff support for professionals engaged in this work.
We are offering two CPD workshops for named and designated child protection professionals, one for nurses and one for doctors. These workshops are intended to develop the skills and understanding of the named and designated professionals working in the complex and demanding field of child protection.
The task of the workshops is to offer a thinking space for designated and named professionals. Often taking time to think and share clinical dilemmas with colleagues is seen to be a luxury but the Climbié report demonstrates that thinking is an absolute precondition of effective work in the challenging world of child protection.
