About the Event
This training is open to social workers across Adult and Children's Services within the West Midlands Social Work Teaching Partnership. Please see below our Partner organisations. Though not exclusively for Children’s teams, this may be of particular interest to social workers/team managers working in Child and Families, Court Teams, Fostering Teams. Practice Educators supporting students in Children’s Teams, Academics and Teaching Fellows with an interest in this area.
This half-day course will provide an introduction to the topic of Parental Alienation. Parental Alienation is becoming more recognised within Children & Families Social Work, however the research base is still lacking in terms of offering best-practice and solutions for social workers.
Throughout this course we will explore...
Definitions, identification and consideration of harm
The emergence of Parental Alienation as a safeguarding issue
Sharing of practice experiences and case studies – facilitator and via breakout rooms
