Child Outcomes Research Consortium
Join us for our 90 minute online training webinars led by Rachael Grant, Regional Officer.
This session is ideal for those that are new to using outcome measures in their practice, as part of the induction process for new staff joining your service, or as a refresher for those with more experience.
The focus is on principles and practice so this could be relevant to staff working in a range of settings in statutory services, voluntary and community organisations or education settings – anywhere where children and young people may be receiving support with their mental health and wellbeing.
Aims of this training:
To introduce measures and develop an understanding of what they are and the roles of different measures. Participants will look at the principles and consider how they can be used.
Learning outcomes:
Develop an understanding of what outcome and feedback measures are and why they are beneficial to them, young people and the service.
Understand key principles of using measurement tools.
Develop an awareness of the range of measures and when they could be suitable.
Consider the views of children and young people on the use of measures and their implications.
Know how to access further guidance and support.

Free child sexual abuse e-learning module: https://www.csacentre.org.uk/training/elearning/
Chronologies are a vital tool for practitioners working with children and their families, supporting practice in a number of different ways.
They are crucial to:
- capture significant events in the child and family’s life
- consider the child’s felt and lived experience
- understand the source of actual and potential harm impacting on children and young people
- identify protective factors and to decide next steps for intervention in a range of contexts.
This practice tool aims to support social workers and their managers to navigate these complexities by providing an overview of the process that should be applicable to a range of contexts. View the practice tool

Learning from peers
The online book launch for Jez’s Lucky Day took place on 1 June 2021. Alongside the authors discussing their inspiration for this popular children’s fire safety book, the event included three fire and rescue service (FRS) practitioners discussing how they have used the resource in their face-to-face and online work with children. Melanie Owen from Hampshire FRS talked about how she takes this big, brilliant paperback book and uses it online with children. Diana Harris of Mid and West Wales FRS talked about how the story allowed for connections with a child who was described by their mother as “the son of Satan”. Finally, Charly Walmsley gave an account of using the book’s gentle but effective fire safety messages with an older child with autism. The recording of the event can be accessed here and is insightful listening for all working in this field
One-stop shop
It can be very hard for practitioners to find information, resources and support related to child firesetting behaviour. The newly launched fabtic website aims to provide a one-stop shop to help address this. The site includes information on training, supervision, direct work services, resources, research, events and opportunities to connect with other professionals. The website makes it easy to access FEwithJo, with its resources for children and posts that can provide CPD for staff, and to sign-up to the Talking About Firesetting group on LinkedIn. It also tells you about the resources, research papers and publications fabtic provides. Please do grab a cuppa and take a look
