GRADED CARE PROFILE TRAINING
Thursday 23 May, 9.15 – 4.00, Montrose Academy, Academy Square, Montrose, DD10 8HU

Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) helps professionals measure the quality of care being given to a child. It’s an assessment tool that helps them to spot anything that’s putting that child at risk of harm.

It’s important we find children who are at risk of harm as early as possible so we can get them the right help.

GCP2 shows:

• strengths
• weaknesses
• what needs to be changed.

By working out what parents can do better, it’s easier for the person working with a family to get them the right support to improve the life of their child.

This training will equip staff to use the GCP2 tool in their day-to-day practice and is relevant for all staff, particularly named persons/lead professionals, working directly with families/children/young people where neglect is an issue. If you have any staff who have not undertaken this training previously including any newly qualified social workers/health visitors or other support staff then they should sign up for this course.

All Angus Council staff (SW/Education) should sign up via Resourcelink, all other staff via Eventbrite using the link https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/graded-care-profile-training-tickets-47924371084
