Norfolk Graded Care Profile Tool Training
Neglect continues to be a key priority for the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership. Following learning from recent local Child Safeguarding Practice Reviews and NSPCC's report on Neglect: learning from case reviews, published December 2022, the Norfolk Safeguarding Children Partnership (NSCP) is committed to the implementation of the Norfolk Graded Care Profile tool across all partner agencies to effectively support children, young people and families where neglect has been identified. This is part of the NSCP strategy 2023 to tackle neglect across Norfolk.
The training is primarily designed for Designated Safeguarding Leads to implement the use of the Graded Care Profile and cascade the information to relevant staff. Those pastoral staff who work directly with families are also welcome to attend the training.
This free half day course will cover what neglect is and how the updated Graded Care Profile tool should be used effectively to measure and target the quality and level of care given to children by their parents or carers.
Outcomes:
- Understand what neglect is and how it is categorised
- Explain the Norfolk Graded Care Profile and how it can be used to measure and target the quality and level of care given to children by their parents
- Consider how this can be used to effect change in parental behaviours
- Demonstrate a practical application of the tool using a case study
- Confidence in utilising the Norfolk Graded Care Profile tool when working with partners to ensure a multi-agency approach to using the tool with families.
The courses are available to book via S4S Norfolk with a range of dates available from May 2023.
