Families First: Using Foundations’ evidence in local social care reforms

Families First: Using Foundations’ evidence in local social care reforms

The Children and Families Services sector are moving at pace to deliver the ambitions of Families First transformation. To achieve meaningful and lasting change in line with the Children's Social Care National Framework, it is vital that local leaders of children's services ensure their systems and workforce can implement evidence-based interventions and approaches with confidence.

Join us for a lunchtime webinar, where we will bring together experts from policy, practice, and research to delve into the Practice guides, developed by Foundations – What Works Centre for Children & Families and commissioned by the Department of Education. Together, we will explore the development of the Guides, the robust evidence that underpins them, and the practical ways you can embed their key principles and recommendations to improve outcomes for children, young people and families in your local area.

Designed for
