This course will run on the following dates:

• 1st August 2018

 This course is for practitioners, who may in the course of their work encounter families, who resist, evade or only superficially engage with professionals when intervention is necessary to protect vulnerable children or young people.

 The course will give participants the opportunity to:

• Explore why families may be resistant/unwilling to co-operate 
• Learn about the differences between hostile and threatening behavior, non-compliant behavior and passive compliance 
• Explore strategies, which can be used in working with such behavior – ensuring that a child centered approach is maintained 
• Consider the role of supervision in effectively assessing risk factors for children in the household
• Reflect on issues for practitioners in keeping themselves safe and how to access support
