GIRFEC e-Learning

The e-learning modules are available at two levels: informed and skilled. The ‘informed’ level applies to any practitioner providing services to the public, especially those likely to come in contact with children, young people and/or their families. The ‘informed’ module may also be helpful for others who wish to gain a general understanding about ‘Getting it right for every child’. The ‘skilled’ level applies to any practitioner likely to come in contact with babies, infants, children, young people and/or their families and carers, especially those working directly with them. The ‘skilled’ module may also be helpful for others who wish to gain more depth of understanding about ‘Getting it right for every child’.
