Outline
OPTION 2: Practitioner within the Community You will understand the importance of and be skilled in, early intervention and safeguarding work. You will manage risk across the spectrum needs for children, young people and families. You may work in settings as diverse as family homes, youth centres, early years, youth justice, children’s centres, educational settings and the community.

SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE- “You listened to me, understood what has happened to me and how I feel about my life, and I am confident my voice is heard “ “You helped me to identify risk, you made me aware when things were unsafe” “You identified my/our strengths and difficulties and helped me learn about myself/ourselves. We prepared and made plans where we agreed the next steps together” “You supported me through the changes, stuck with me and checked how things were progressing and asked whether things were better for me” “You weren’t afraid to make difficult decisions when you thought it was the right thing to do” “You knew what you were doing – you understood the law and knew where to find other information and helped me to form creative ideas about how to make things better” “You thought about things” “You included people who were important to me or could help me” Other expectations from this option are: 2a Forge networks with other agencies and the community, within a specific working context (e.g. early years, youth, youth justice, family work, special educational needs and disability etc.) and build sustainable solutions together. 2b In-depth understanding of a particular age group, context or family system
