It provides a comprehensive overview of how to develop a new service from an initial idea. \nThrough a combination of presentations\, films and group activities\, the workshop will guide you through the steps involved in finalising your business strategy\, choosing your legal model and governance\, and taking advantage of new opportunities to grow. \nYou will have the chance to apply your learning through an interactive case-study\, where the decisions you make will determine the strategy and legal structure\, of a potential service. \nThe aims of the workshop are: \n\nTo show how the principles of co-operation link to the Social Services and Well-being (Wales) Act.\nTo provide a practical step-by-step guide to forming a business strategy.\nTo introduce a range of legal models and show the differences between them.\nTo provide an overview of governance responsibilities and shared decision-making.\nTo give participants the chance to test and apply their learning.\nTo provide practical examples of opportunities to grow and develop services.\n\nLunch will be provided. \nTo book a place please click here.

Appropriate touch not only promotes a child’s social and emotional development but is also a highly effective and powerful method of non-verbal communication and is key to the development of healthy relationships. Touch must be child centred not staff centred and should meet with the requirements of safeguarding. \nKeeping children safe from abuse should also involve teaching children about appropriate and inappropriate touch and by doing so it should help children to better protect themselves.  Clarity should always be the aim and a child should never be left in any doubt about a member of staff’s intention behind physical contact. The context or environment in which touch takes place between practitioners and children is the over-riding factor determining the emotional and physical safety of both parties. \nFind out more and book your place via the Children in Wales website.
