Professional practice with families is based upon the integrated Model of Pro-Social Practice developed by Chris Trotter based upon his work (1991; 1996; 2004) with families and other involuntary client groups.
The model focuses particularly upon Role Clarification; Pro-social Modelling and Reinforcement; Problem Solving and Building Relationships. The model is both supported by research findings and is consistent with a range of theoretical perspectives.
The model of supportive training used will be facilitative, through small and easily assimilated blocks of learning based around practical activity, demonstration and role-play. It is supported by the use of resources such as books, games, videos, sequencing, story boards and physical resources.
In order to assess parental capacity a variety of tools are used, tailored to the needs of each parent,
and are incorporated into the Framework of Assessment of Children in Need and their Families.
