ASSESSING PROTECTIVENESS USING CASP-R MODEL OF SUPERVISION AND PROTECTION
The core of any child protection process is the protectiveness of the adults around that child and therefore any assessment of risk posed to a child must be accompanied by a protectiveness assessment. However, it is also essential that it is not only the ability to protect but the capacity of that adult to supervise the risk posed in their family system. This training will provide practitioners with the skills and competence to administer the CASP-R (McGibbon & Leonard 2020) Model of Assessment to assist them in assessing a partner’s ability to protect and supervise the risk in the family.
This 2 day training will be delivered by one of the authors and given the competence based assessment of the training it is best received face to face.
