This workshop provides an opportunity to consider attachment theory; application and intervention; trauma theory; impact and assessment; and recovery planning and assessment. Designed with the specific aim of informing, engaging, and delivering an understanding of historical, biological, observational, cultural and neuroscience attachment…...the very core of what it is to be.
The day will set out attachment and trauma perspectives based on casework for child and family social workers, education, residential care professionals and family placement professionals, kinship and foster and adoption carers.
Drawing on child development and attachment theory the workshop will seek to assist attendees in assessing and developing attachment based interventions so that we have the professional language and the professional/personal skills and confidence in this key area of trauma recovery practice.

The workshop will be led by Richard Rose, Director of Child Trauma Intervention Services Ltd (CTIS) which seeks to engage with children affected by early life trauma and to help them achieve their full potential. Richard undertakes consultancy and training on Life Story Therapy and working with 'hard to reach' children and adolescents and develops academic training programmes in the UK and internationally. Prior to founding CTIS in 2011, Richard worked in the UK in local authority child protection and in the highly regarded residential therapeutic treatment agency SACCS, including four years as the Clinical Practice Director of the Mary Walsh Institute. Throughout his career, Richard has worked with children and their carers in out of home care and family placements, with the aim of enabling placements to become healthy and nurturing through enhanced understanding and attachment. He is the author of three books including Life Story Therapy: A new therapy for traumatised children – A model for practice, published in 2012 and Innovative Therapeutic Life Story Work 2017. He is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Social Work and Social Policy at La Trobe University.

This training course provides Care Workers with the essential skills and knowledge to apply and comply with the Mental Capacity Act (MCA) 2005 when carrying out their role.

The MCA applies to every health and social care worker who is involved in the care, treatment or support of people who are unable to make all or some decisions themselves. Care Quality Commission Inspectors are increasingly asking care workers to explain their responsibilities under the MCA.

The MCA provides legal protection from liability for carrying out care and treatment of people who lack capacity to consent, provided that care workers:

• Understand the principles of the MCA
• Have carried out a capacity assessment and reasonably believe that the person lacks capacity.
• Reasonably believe the action they have taken is in the best interests of the person.

Learning Outcome
1. Understand what mental capacity is and what might affect the mental capacity of the people you work with
2. Be able to identify the decisions you are responsible for in your workplace
3. Be able to apply the MCA principles to the decisions you are responsible for
4. Be able to carry out an assessment of capacity
5. Be able to act and decide in the person’s best interests where they lack capacity for a particular decision.

This course will allow participants time and space to consider the safeguarding needs of disabled children and provide them with an opportunity to explore ways in which disabled children can be safeguarded from harm.

Please note that this course is for the 0-25 Team.

A lot of work has taken place to develop our ‘Practice Model’ in South Gloucestershire. However, our three approaches have not always been understood in terms of how they work together.

Kingston Upon Thames (who share our practice approaches), created their own training called, ‘The STAR Programme’, to help embed their Practice Model. They are in their third year delivering this and have agreed to use this as a model to design a programme for SGC, with an aim to us being self-sufficient in delivering this by Sept 2024.

The STAR Programme brings together Signs of Safety, Trauma Informed and Systemic approaches across all 7 sessions. The sessions have the following themes:
S = Safety 2 x 0.5 days
T= Transparency 1 x 0.5 day
A = Aspirational 1 x 0.5 day
R = Relationships 2 x 0.5 day
The final session is a reflective feedback session.

Kingston upon Thames will be involved in the initial delivery and roll out of this programme from May - July, with our PSW, PDM’s and Signs of Safety team, observing these sessions, so that they are able to continue this programme with the remaining teams in September.

The training is essential for all practitioners including Service Managers and Managers and attendance is compulsory. If you are unable to attend any session, you must inform your manager and attend the session that you missed with another team.
