Making and Justifying Recommendations is:

Full day or two ½ days training.

This package works best in a full day and is suitable for social workers wishing to develop their skills in relation to writing and then justifying the report recommendations they make in a children’s hearing.

The training is best facilitated by a 3rd party (local authority training providers, a Safeguarder or solicitor or care experienced young people could do this). The training begins with a general discussion about difficulties / barriers / experiences.

There is then a presentation from the Reporter and panel members – about what works & why. The pm session is focussed on case study work – thinking about gathering and presenting children’s views and about writing a recommendation for a children’s hearings report and presenting this to a ‘panel’. The panel will then make a children’s hearing decision.

The training is a practical guide to helping practitioners present more confidently and effectively at Children’s Hearings.
