Face-to-face course
Hearing
the truth about why families choose to avoid our services might be a bit uncomfortable, but
it could provide helpful information about what we need to change.
Even
when we are inspired to make changes to ensure that our service is as engaging
as can be, it can be tough to know where to start. How might a local service
model look if it were truly shaped and influenced by the families it is intended
for?
How can we enter into a genuine partnership with families to redevelop
what we do and how we do it?
This
one day workshop explores the concept of parent engagement from the perspective
of families who are service resistant. The workshop helps practitioners to
engage, identify and employ strategies that promote and support parent
engagement within and across services.
Learning objectives

- engagement
as a term that lacks uniform definition;
-
‘engagement’

-
worker

-
