A word from Sandra …

It was clear on my first meeting the family/friends
network that they were fully on board with the
Signs of Safety process, they own the safety plan and they constantly talk and look for safety or
solutions. I have learned so much from working with
them.
On flicking through the pack I saw Danger
Statements and then a Safety Plan and then
Words and Pictures … how very exciting I thought….
The handover phase and talk about worries for future
harm/risk helped to consolidate in my head the SOS work you had already
done and by the time it came to NYCC fully taking on the case, to me it felt like an
ongoing stage of the process rather than everything
starting again or even going backwards.
