Systemic Practice Spotlight Sessions
As we approach 2.5 years since the first Cohort of Systemic Practice training was delivered, and over 900 professionals having attended the 2 days training we are at the point of embedding the model in practice. In order to do this we will be offering a number of themed Spotlight Sessions over the next 6 months with a view to spending time thinking about how some of the Systemic concepts impact on our work with children and families.
