Start and finish time of webinar
10am CET

Working with families where there are child protection concerns is often difficult - but it is made especially challenging where either parents do not recognise that there is a problem, or deny that there is any cause for concern.  This webinar considered some of the reasons for this, the impact on workers and explored some strategies for working with families where they are resistant to support.

You can continue the discussion about the issue in our forum.

Please also see the serious online game for experiencing an 'uncooperative' family visit, as a social worker.

The Center for Child Protection of the University of Kent (UK) offers child protection simulation (serious game) as a safe new medium to explore and reflect upon child protection assessment. It offers professionals, at all stages of their careers, a unique way to evaluate child protection situations. 

'Rosie 1' (Virtually Safe) is part of a suite of training opportunities being developed by the University of Kent to enhance professional training. Download the game 

Tdh Moldova has developed training moduls for social assistants, which covers this topic as well.
