UPDATE NO 415 07 August 2020

Programme:

Models of Social Work Practice – SESLIP Report now published

Update:

Today, we have published Models of Social Work Across the Region.

We decided that, in the absence of being able to go ahead with the Models of Social Work Conference in June, the information gathered from the  “Call for Evidence” should be written up and shared. This has now been completed and the final document provides information about Family Safeguarding Model, Signs of Safety, the Hampshire Approach, the Team Around the Relationship bespoke model developed by Brighton and Hove and Connected Practice developed by East Sussex.

Action Required:

This provides a useful resource, outlining the overview of each model with key features and evidence; who uses the models; evaluation and impact; drivers and challenges and funding and costs. There is also a list of lead contacts for each model. Many thanks to all that have contributed to the development of this comprehensive resource.
