Simulated Child Protection Conference

Abstract:

This video is the condensed version of a Child Protection Conference that simulates the decision making process in a virtual case study. The aim was to set a backdrop to enable students and practitioners to reflect on various aspects inherent in the field of child protection rather than providing a detailed and realistic account of the process of undertaking child protection conferences. In this video different phases of a child protection conferences and the inter-personal dynamics between the participants are shown. It is a shortened version of materials available as part of a simulation that takes students and practitioners from a referral into Children's Social Care to chairing a core group meeting.
