This training programme is designed to enhance the ability of practitioners to work in partnership with families. It contains a five-day training programme and deals with practice issues in the light of the Children Act. It aims to ensure that all practitioners will be afforded opportunities to develop the necessary skills for implementing two cornerstones of the Children Act: the Act's central philosophy of delivering services by working in partnership with the consumers of those services; the legislative duty, on both courts and child-care workers, to provide family support services that increase children's opportunities. The pack is for use with "The Children Act 1989: Working in Partnership with Families - Trainer's Pack" (ISBN 0-11-321447-2).
