Developing The Childcare Workforce
Improving Outcomes through integrated working
Five Rivers is pleased to announce that we are co-sponsoring the 6th National Conference in association with our practice partner The Pillars of Parenting.
In Seminar 3 together we will be showcasing our integrated model of child care which includes the application of a combination of related theoretical and practical training and support programmes for the child care workforce.
In this workshop we will demonstrate how we support our practitioners to deliver related appropriate interventions through a model of ‘Authentic Warmth’ within authoritative parenting style that predicts child well being across a wide spectrum of services.
Our Managing Director Andrew Constable will be sitting on the discussion panel ‘supporting multi-agency working’ to further explore the benefits of an integrated approach in Children’s Services.
