------------------
This free webinar will be an occasion for professionals to reflect on the work that we do and how collaboratively we can make positive changes and create better outcomes for children.
In recent years case reviews and inquiries have recommended collaborative working between services to ensure effective communication and planning for each child.
The morning has been designed to capture as many professionals from a variety of disciplines to learn from one another and to draw on the experiences of our speakers. It is hoped that the event can be informal and informative, with time for questions and answers and an online poll during the morning.The aim of the webinar is to explore and develop our understanding of collaborative work to help children reach their full potential.
