Aims:

Solution focused practice consists of a range of approaches to problems that are both effective and rewarding.  By emphasising strengths and resources, it has a natural appeal to families and young people in difficulty.

Solution focused working can be effective as a way of:

  • structuring formal meetings
  • having “short conversations” with colleagues or children and young people
  • in-depth work with an individual over a period, or one-off sessions
  • changing the “ethos” of a group, class or organisation
  • building team approaches
  • providing staff support and development.

Content:

The training day will cover as many aspects of work as possible where a solution focused approach might be helpful.  There will be an introduction to solution focused principles and tools, and opportunities to practise these in ways that are relevant to participant’s profession.  This training has been rolled out in Highland over the past few years and has been very positively received. This new round of training is a must for those new to management positions within schools and is suitable for a range of professionals working with children and families
