Practitioner Forum

Practitioner Forum

Thank you to the 22 frontline practitioners who attended the first NYSCP Practitioner Forum meeting on 13th November.

Partners join us from a wide variety of agencies and services and participated in group discussions and online polls to establish how they would like the group to develop and what value they feel it will bring to frontline partitioners. Here’s what some of them had to say:

“It about keeping up to date with information and networking and knowing we are not alone”

“For my area of work – finding out gaps in knowledge so we can help understand/education around topics to help safeguarding finding out new and important points of contact.”

“Information sharing, working with others to share practice, understand how we can support each other and visa versa”

“Build good working relationships. Develop Services together with shared knowledge and experiences.”

“The ability to have our views considered within decision making…having our voices in the background of decision makers can only help”

Meetings will now take place every 6 weeks via Teams, with the next meeting being:

15th January 12:00 – 13:00

For this meeting the group agreed to look at the NYSCP website and how we can make it more valuable and accessible for frontline practitioners as well as children and families.

The agenda items will continue to be set by frontline practitioners, so if you have any ideas that you would like to be covered in the forum please get it touch.

The group is open to all frontline practitioners and volunteers working with children and families, and there is no commitment to attend every session – just join those you can.
