Blackpool Trauma informed Practice and Motivational interviewing
We have been delighted to be providing a large-scale training programme to support staff across Childrens Services in using a trauma informed lens when and responding using a motivational interviewing approach. We truly believe this is a fantastic approach to working with children and families.
The programme included:
- Workshops for Heads of Service
- 17 cohorts for practitioners – approx. 300 staff
- 7 cohorts of Foster Carers – approx. 100
- Training and embedding workshops for managers
- Support for champions to bring about systemic change
- Joint work with parents with lived experience
Work continues with workshops for:
- managers to support embedding
- parents with lived experience
- foster carer forums
- champions to bring about systemic change
The course has been a mix of virtual delivery and face to face skills sessions staggered to support learning and embedding.
We have a team of 4 supporting this programme and feedback is excellent.
"We couldn’t be happier with the way you are working with us in such a supportive and partnership way and the training delivery itself."
