Have you seen our updated training pathway yet? The CLB Highland team have been working hard behind the scenes to refresh what used to be our training pathway. We have replaced it with a more detailed document that should help you to think about what knowledge and support you need to feel prepared to support children and young people who are experiencing loss and change.

The new document reminds us to use the GIRFEC critical questions to help you think, in the first instance, about how you support children, young people and their families, as well as signposting to a range of policy, guidance, research, training and supports that you can access beyond this critical first step.

It also highlights the existing Tragic Events Guidance in instances where an immediate response may be required. This guidance includes a really useful Operational Checklist on page 7, that can walk you through the steps you should take (and who will be available to support) when this occurs.
