Assessment and Planning with Children & Young People in Residential Childcare
Throughout this online course we will evaluate the principles and purpose of assessment and planning, who is involved, their responsibilities and how they can support children and young people in residential childcare.
That includes you, so we explain how you can encourage, motivate and work with children and young people to identify their needs, set challenging targets and goals for development and enable them to engage fully in the process.
We look at how their needs, views and aspirations can be evaluated and communicated effectively to ensure their assessments are full, accurate and child centred and look at how those plans may develop to achieve positive outcomes.
This course is part of our unlimited Course and Certificate package.
Pricing for Social Care Training starts from £3 per person per month inclusive more info>>
