Child Development

To be able to effectively work with children, young people and families an understanding of child development is crucial.  This practical programme covers both key age and stage milestones and more importantly the impact of the these stages on positive outcomes for children and young people.  Practitioners will explore the key facts and theory around early brain development and consider neglect and complex needs on long term resilience and positive life chances.  The training produces confident, competent professionals who are able to assess and support families and individual children.

Case Studies

  • Aberdeenshire C Change

    C-Change is a structured, evidence based approach to assessing parental capacity to change in situations where the parenting is likely to be causing harm to their children. Aberdeenshire were interested in further improving quality of assessments and particularly to enable practitioners to move ‘stuck’ cases forwards and provide practitioners with greater confidence to intervene in families who could make initial changes but struggled to sustain parenting at a good enough level.
