Assessing adult relationships

THEME

The purpose of this open course is to give participants an opportunity to consider what good practice in assessing adult relationships is, exploring their own values and assumptions and to consider the importance of attachment styles; motivation; sex and sexuality; and loss and infertility.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

By the end of the day, participants will learn how to:

• Develop a deeper understanding of the dynamics of adult relationships
• Consider issues that may arise within intimate relationships
• Develop critical thinking and reflective practice in the completion of assessments

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This course is suitable for social worker teams and others assessing potential adoptive parents and foster carers.

On open courses we can accommodate a maximum of four delegates from one organisation only. For a larger group booking, please see the information on commissioned training.

For social workers, reflection on this session may contribute to your continuing professional development (CPD).
