F2F Training: Family Finding

This F2F session is for all PSP casework staff and leaders. Family Finding is a core part of permanency casework and critical to supporting children and young people to have safe, lifelong connections with family, kin and community. This training builds knowledge and practical skills to embed family finding into everyday practice, from first contact through to long-term planning. The session explores the purpose and principles of family finding within PSP and links to permanency, using case information, networks and tools to map family, kin and significant people, engaging family and kin in culturally responsive and trauma aware ways, working through common challenges and dilemmas in family finding practice, and integrating family finding into assessment, case planning and review. Participants will have opportunities to work with case examples and reflect on how to apply learning in their own practice.
