Overview of training
As you progress through the 13 scenes, Rosie 2 provides a safe way to explore how to deal with potentially unsafe situations, addressing hostility and disguised compliance, and identifying elements of concern during a home visit. Ongoing support and advice is provided to ensure the resources are maximised within your organisation, as well as a number of worksheets for you to use or adapt to suit your needs.
Based on extensive research, Rosie 2 is a valuable tool for practitioners working with families in their homes.
Inter-professional learning of this quality [Rosie2] on child protection is long overdue.
