Information Briefing and Initial Engagement Sessions

Who are the sessions for?

These are offered on a multi-agency basis to any practitioner or manager who is:

  • involved in services for infants, children, young people and their families
  • for those in Adult Services who will have connections to engaging with families as children grow and to those with lived experience who may require the support of Adult Services in later life
  • There will also be relevance for those who may not see themselves as providing a direct service but have significant influence in shaping services and decision making such as Business Support, Commissioning, Procurement and Finance colleagues.
  • For anyone who has experience in any form connected to the system who has an interest in change work.

What will the sessions look like?

This will be the first opportunity to start becoming involved.  It will not be the last with the hope that further sessions will be more interactive. Due to the current public health requirements, the opportunity will be offered on a virtual basis at this time. 

To allow as many people to express an interest and hear the information across a number of agencies - five sessions are offered on different days and at different times.  The session will be for one hour. This will mean that opportunity for interaction will be relatively limited however there will be ways in which any questions or request for further information will be met.
