Welcome to the Council for Disabled Children's Introduction to Social Care course.
This training is predominantly aimed at SENDIAS staff. However it could also be utilised by others in the SEND sector such as:
- Early Help practitioners;
- Education practitioners;
- Health practitioners;
- Anyone else involved in providing social care advice and information
If you are a SENDIAS staff member, please select 'I am a SENDIAS staff member' below, otherwise, please select 'I am not a SENDIAS staff member' before registering.
The course has two modules covering:
- Children's Social Care: The law, regulations and guidance
- Children's Social Care: What it means in practice
Develop your understanding of social care support and services by:
- Improving your understanding of the role of social care teams and practitioners in the lives of children and young people with SEND and their families
- Improving your understanding of the legal framework unpinning the provision of good quality social care
- Improve your understanding of how children and young people with SEND, and their families, can access social care assessments and support.
Each lesson will take around 45 minutes to complete and you can work through at your own pace. You do not need complete both lessons on the same day.
