Quick reminder
Our Way of Working is about a common and consistent approach to working with families. It is based on shared language and shared understanding across all partners who work with families, drawing on Trauma Informed Practice and Motivational Interviewing.

We want to work with children and families in a new, integrated and targeted way implementing Multi Agency Group Supervisions and Learning Conversations.
