QUALITY ASSURANCE & EVALUATION

Quality Assurance Framework has been put in place to monitor the quality of the training events that are delivered as part of our programme.

The ApproachThere are three stages to our Quality Assurance, which are as follows:

Observation of learning to ensure quality of delivery Evaluation surveys – End of Course/Event Questionnaires Impact Assessment – Mystery Shopper activity

Stage 1: Ensuring QualityMembers of the Performance, Learning & Quality Assurance Committee (PLQ) who attend learning events will provide feedback to the committee on the quality of the training delivery and learner engagement/learning. Feedback comments will be passed to the Corporate Learning and Development Coordinator and will inform future commissioning plans.

Stage 2: At the end of LearningAll learners that attend our courses will be sent an electronic evaluation at the end of their training event which will be sent to them via email no later than one working day after the course is completed. It is important that these evaluations are completed and submitted as the feedback is used to shape future plans and helps us to gauge the effectiveness of training. Please complete your electronic evaluation as soon as you are able to do so on completion of training. Because of the importance of evaluation, we will also be sending reminder e-mails.



Stage 3: Impact & Mystery Shop 6-8 weeks after attending a training event, learners will be sent a further evaluation where by they will be asked to complete a short further evaluation around how they have put their learning into practice within their work environment. This will provide us with a further measure to gauge the effectiveness of the training and the impact that this training has had on individuals practice. All learners are asked to complete this evaluation as soon as it is received. Findings will be included in the quarterly report to the PLQ Committee and will inform future LSCB training events moving forward.

Working with Invisible Family MembersPurpose: Professionals who are working with families where children and young people are in need of protection are often encountering families at their most vulnerable. These are situations where practitioners are required to engage with not only complex parenting and child development issues but also complex family systems in which engaging all family members in an appropriate and meaning full way is a challenge.

A consistent finding from serious case reviews is that on occasions some family members are neither engaged nor their role in family life understood. In that sense they are invisible. This may be because those family members wish to avoid professionals or it may be that practitioners have not worked effectively with them. This half day workshop explores what is meant by “invisible” family members and will equip professionals with strategies for understanding and engagement

Who should attend: This short awareness raising session is for all frontline staff who come into regular contact with children, young people and their families.


Learning Objectives: By the end of the learning event, delegates will have a raised awareness of:

What is meant by “invisible family members” and the different forms of “invisibility” that professionals might encounter

The implications that the presence of invisible family members can have for working with families in general and child protection in particular

Signs to look out for to identify invisible family members Assessment strategies including the types of questions to ask that can help identify invisible family

members Strategies for engaging invisible family members and the implications for working with other family

members The implications of issues relating to cross cultural working and also gender when seeking to

identify and engine “invisible family members”
