Our Training

​

Developed and delivered by our partner agency, Mullah Mara, by respected Elder Aunty Tammy Solomon. Aunty Tammy and SCS each have a demonstrated history of facilitating high quality
Family Group Meetings that result in tailored, individualised and proactive Case Plans
for children in or on the edge of the care system. This training will guide participants
in how to engage families appropriately, how to truly and deeply listen to their needs
and perspectives, and how to work in genuine partnership to gain collective
responsibility and outcome for children’s best interests

Developed and delivered by our partner agency, Mullah Mara, by respected Elder Aunty Tammy Solomon. Building on SCS’s successful Assessment Writing Workshop as a foundational training,
Aunty Tammy’s Culturally Safe Assessments training adds the cultural lens to learning
how to engage with First Nations applicants and carers, how to assess risk and
capacity safely and respectfully, and how to write these assessments in a culturally
appropriate manner.

Developed and delivered by our partner agency, Mullah Mara, by respected Elder Aunty Tammy Solomon. Aunty Tammy’s passion for high-quality, meaningful Cultural Plans is evident in her
one-day hands-on training day. Aunty will walk participants through the ‘why’ and
importantly the ‘how’, so everyone leaves with their own, fully-developed Cultural Plan
template for future use; a Cultural Plan that is more than a dot-point, more than a
paragraph, more than a ‘section’ of a document – a stand-alone, powerful, child friendly Cultural Plan that can guide practice and decision making for all involved.

Developed and delivered by our partner agency, Mullah Mara, by respected Elder Aunty Tammy Solomon. Aunty Tammy will guide this one-day training to ensure assessors, practitioners, carers
and/or applicants understand the true meaning of the Standards of Care with a
cultural lens. It is recognised that the Standards of Care are a critical element of the
child protection system in Qld. Aunty Tammy’s vibrant, informative and engaging
approach to helping teach the Standards of Care from an Aboriginal perspective will
ensure learning is genuine, embedded and applicable across all roles of those in
attendance.

Self-care is about more than manicures and massages. Talk through what self-care actually looks like as carers, parents, guardians and practitioners

Help to understand the role of family contact and how to navigate what can be a complex, emotive but essential part of children’s lives.

While we recognise high ACEs can have life-long negative impacts upon people’s physical, social and emotional wellbeing, equally its important we can identify, grow and build upon
children’s Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs). This masterclass is resource-filled and aimed to help parents, carers and practitioners to more deeply understand the power of PCEs.

Better understand sexuality and gender diversity and discover ways to support both identifying children and youth in out of home care as well as their carers. Learn how to confidently assess carers in their ability to support a child or young person’s identity,
specifically around sexuality and gender diversity.

Develop skills and confidence to use the ACES study as a tool to inform your fostering and kinship carer assessments.

Filled with resources, tools and stories, this session helps practitioners to better engage with young people, using their methods, their language, their way.
