Signs of Safety Briefing Paper
Andrew Turnell and the production team at Resolutions Consultancy have just completed a Briefing Paper that provides a comprehensive overview of the Signs of Safety. The Briefing Paper, available as a free download, covers the following aspects of the approach: history, philosophy, risk assessment and planning framework, tools for working with children safety planning, appreciative inquiry, organisational implementation strategy and research base.
The Signs of Safety is a constantly evolving practitioner's model and because of this written material cannot usually keep up with the latest developments. The Briefing Paper, as a web-based document will be constantly updated and will therefore continue to provide the most up to date overview of the Signs of Safety as it is continues to evolve.
