We recognise the most important influence in a child’s life is family. Children who grow up with safe, stable and nurturing relationships form stronger friendships, develop greater resilience, achieve more in school and are more likely to build positive relationships throughout their lives.
We are child focussed in our intent but recognise that the most effective way to help and protect children is to work alongside the whole family. Therefore strengthening families is central to our aims as we know that families have greater capacity for change when we work with them as partners. This is part of an evidence based approach known as Restorative Practice.
We aim to embed a culture across our workforce where dignity and respect is the basis for our interventions. Every member of staff will understand the principles of Restorative Practice and its ethos will underpin all of our work and align to the borough vision of ‘Forging a Future for all’.
CPP Pop-Up Pods
Dudley’s Centre for Professional Practice invite Children Services Staff to our monthly Pop-Up Pods!
Every month, CPP will be setting up Pop Up Pods in the break-out areas of:
Corbyn Road (DY1 2JZ), Mary Stevens Park (DY8 2AA), Ladies Walk (DY3 3UA), and Saltwells (DY2 9LY)
The aim of the Pop Up Pods is to increase the scale of support from CPP to ensure staff receive direct support in relation to practice and improvement, and have access to the latest information about learning events and training.
At each Pop Up Pod, there will be a range of practice resources, and bespoke workshops on the day focusing upon key areas of practice following the recent visit by Ofsted and findings of audit activity.
​
Please see below for further details and dates / locations of the Pop Up Pods.
