PRACTITIONER PAGES – ONLINE RESOURCE TO SUPPORT PRACTICE IN PUBLIC PROTECTION
What are the Practitioner Pages?
For many years the practitioners pages have been used by partners across Forth Valley to support improving outcomes for children, adults and their families. The pages have recently been updated and are intended to be a one stop shop to support staff with information on:
• local and national frameworks and tools, including policies and guidelines
• how to make referrals to local services
• local learning and development calendars and links to national training
• links to relevant resources and learning on external websites
• A-Z Resources
The pages will support the practice of all staff working with children and adults across Clackmannanshire, Falkirk and Stirling.

The updated Multi Agency Training Calendar has been added as a new page (tab along the top)  Further info is available in the dropdowns

Today sees the publication of the Expert Group on Preventing Sexual Offending Involving Children and Young People’s findings on the prevention of and responses to harmful sexual behaviour by children and young people.

A twelve month social media calendar has been created to support the sector to align messages being shared with young people around cyber. The monthly themes have been identified and developed by a young person steering group.

The calendar is there as a guide to provide general overview of proposed themes and topics covered for social media planning purposes. Please do be aware that as an agile piece of work some content may change throughout this time. Any updates to the calendar will be provided on a quarterly basis, along with circulation of a social media toolkit.

This toolkit will support organisations to pick up content being shared on Young Scot platforms to share via their own networks. These resources are being distributed in hopes that yourself/organisation can benefit from sharing and engaging in consistent messages throughout the year. A toolkit will be shared with partners before the start of each quarter, so do look out for the next instalment in March.
