Getting to Know girfec 

This workshop will explain the Getting it right for every child (GIRFEC) approach.  It will introduce a range of activities and resources for youth leaders and young people and give the opportunity to try out these resources.  The workshop will include a short ‘Training the Trainers’ session aimed at helping youth leaders explain the GIRFEC approach to the young people they work with.  Following on from the recent announcement by the Scottish Government that the Named Person and Child’s Plan aspects of the GIRFEC approach will be offered on a policy basis, rather than being brought into place by law, this workshop will also bring youth leaders up to date with the curreny policy position so that they can be confident about how their work contributes to the GIRFEC approach.
