CO0570 Systemic Training – Adult & Children & Families Services ESCA

Tender description

Systemic social work is a way of responding to family problems by recognising that we are all part of complex systems. Essex County Council’s Children and Families (C&F) service overarching approach is relationship based, within this we use four main theoretical models; Systemic Practice, Solution Focused Practice, Strengths Based Approach and Restorative Practice. These four models provide practitioners with the skills and knowledge to deliver relationship based social work practice in Essex. Please refer to Appendix A Our Vision and Values for Children and Families. Essex County Council’s Adult Social Care (ASC) is one of the first County Councils nationally to adopt the Systemic Practice model into ASC. Systemic Practice is one of the 3 key elements of ASC’s Practice Model, we have named Inclusive Essex. This also includes Trauma Informed Practice and being Strengths-Based. This helps all staff in Adult Social Care. As of 2024 Systemic practice also forms part of our mandatory CPD offer to ASC staff called our ‘Essentials Programme’ The scope of the Systemic Training course is to deliver courses with Adults Social Care workforce and Children and Families workforce. The requirement has been split into the following Lots. Lot 1 –Systemic Training for Children & Families and Adults Lot 2 – Systemic Strategic Training for Leadership and Management across ASC & C&F Keywords: Systemic Training
