To work effectively with children and understand their
needs practitioners must have a thorough grounding in all
aspects of child development.This course provides an
overview of the full range of physical, emotional and
cognitive development, including good enough parenting,
attachment and identity. Participants will have the
opportunity to consider what is ‘normal ‘development and
to recognise and understand how children’s experiences
can be reflected in their behaviour.The training will also
explore the role of child development in the assessment
process and how information relating to children’s
development can inform decision-making in relation to risk
and parenting capacity. It also considers cultural differences
in relation to child rearing practices and child development.
Learning outcomes cover:
- Enabling assessment of good enough parenting that
actively promotes children’s development.
- Helping participants transfer knowledge and skills
developed in practice by using their own cases.
- Working with common developmental problems that
carers and social workers have to deal with.
- Providing a framework for the management of behaviour,
and contributing to the development, provision and
review of care programmes.
