Not all families welcome outsiders or feel they want to
enter into ‘partnership’ with social services. Some are
hostile, manipulative and threatening and practitioners have
to work with these uncertainties.They must establish their
own safety and, most importantly, that of the children. In
most circumstances however it is possible, using core skills,
to work with parents and achieve a relationship that can
lead to change and progress.This course explores strategies
for working in partnership, looks at techniques which
empower families and carers and develops tools that assist
families in their understanding of assessments, social work
interventions and the review process.
Learning outcomes cover:
- The reasons behind reluctant and resistant participation.
- Strategies for providing services when parents are
reluctant or resistant to the provision of services for
their child’s wellbeing.
- The skills required to engage parents who may be
reluctant or resistant to interventions.
- Developing skills in motivational interviewing.
