This training is for all practitioners who work with children and families across the borough. The FAN is the common assessment tool used within Rotherham.
The FAN ensures that children and young people thrive in their families by receiving the right help, at the right time, and in an easy way.
The training is designed to equip practitioners with the skills and understanding needed to support families with a holistic assessment, looking at how we work collaboratively in partnership, with a strength-based approach to identify needs and coordinate effective support for children and their families from when worries begin to emerge.
Participants will learn how to structure assessments with restorative practice principles, ensuring that the voices of our children and families are central to the support they receive. The training explores key elements such as being a lead practitioner, understanding the importance of family networks and developing family plans that promote sustainable change. This is an opportunity for practitioners to enhance their practice and contribute to meaningful outcomes for families requiring help support in line with Working Together to Safeguard Children 2023 and Keeping Children Safe in Education.
