The Care Act and Childrens and Families Act 2014 - Learning and Development courses

This one-day training has been designed for adult social care staff and managers working with young people who are transitioning from Children’s Services to Adult Social Care.  It considers both Part 3 of the Children and Families Act 2014 and Part One of the Care 2014, and the different roles of each piece of legislation in supporting young people effectively.

Looking from a strength-based perspective, the course will explore the relevant legislation that is key to providing a legal framework for practitioners when considering and recognising the assessed needs of service users. It explores how local protocols support the successful implementation of a SMART plan.
