Venue:
Detail:
You’re warmly invited to this series of free workshops where the hope is to create and facilitate a space for practitioners/associated staff/managers working as part of the network of services provided by Family Hubs where we can explore and encourage introspection and conversation that:
- promotes increased cultural sensitivity and self-reflexivity/awareness through developing an understanding of families’ and our own identities and stories that influence us and our practice
- explores our understanding of barriers that parents/carers may face, in relation to areas of difference, such as their age, ethnicity, culture, religion, gender and sexuality
- helps normalise conversations with parents/carers around aspects of difference (Social GRACES) and builds practitioners’ confidence (through practical exercises and case studies) in direct work
- Provides an opportunity to share resources within the Family Hubs professional early help community thereby reaching those families who may be seldom heard; and enhance practitioner knowledge with regards to reducing barriers and stigma for families in accessing services
The training group will then meet again for a further follow up day and half day reflective practice to share further learning and experiences of implementing the training in direct work.
Wednesday 30th July 2025 from 9am to 12pm. (Reflective Practice and Certificates)
As this training is free and has limited spaces, please ensure that your manager agrees attendance for all dates. We would also like you to share your feedback with us by completing our Evaluation on the training afterwards to hear about your experience and to help us plan further training for Family Hubs.
Refreshments and Lunch will be provided. Please advise us of any dietary requirements.
It is one ticket per person, all attendees will need to book their own places. Please give at least three days’ notice for any cancellation so that the place can be offered to someone else.
