What Matters to Children Conversations?
One-day Children in Wales course
Conversations with Children under the Social Services and Wellbeing Act 2014 and other arenas for assessing Children’s Wellbeing Outcomes
Under the Social Services and Wellbeing Act 2014, children who are eligible for Care and Support Services will need to be involved in What Matters Conversations and the Co-production of their Wellbeing Goals. There has been a culture change in the way we work with people of all ages in Wales, including children, a move from doing to, to doing with children. The course will look at the legislative framework in Wales, the context for What Matters Conversations, and how to conduct assessments with children. The training will give participants the knowledge and practical skills in conducting assessments, using play and creative techniques and activities from preparation, to conducting assessments through to what happens after. The course will use a child rights based approach which is an overarching duty within the Act.
