To accompany the Assessment Framework, the Department
of Health developed a number of models, scales and
questionnaires for social workers to use in their work with
families, children and adolescents.These can form part of a ‘tool box’ to help assess different aspects of risk, neglect,
emotional abuse, resilience and vulnerability, as well as
models of change.This course provides an opportunity to
consider these and offers other models which can inform
the assessment process.
Learning outcomes cover:
- How to work with the appropriate tools with each
family.
- Engaging children and their family in the assessment.
- Techniques and skills that assist analysis and decision
making.
- Distinguishing and compiling a variety of skills, tools
and techniques that deliver.
- How to adapt and compile scales and questionnaires
to meet the diversity of the children’s and family’s needs.
- Exploring the impact of race, culture and religious
backgrounds and using techniques that produce maximum life chances for children and their families.
