Raising Concerns with Families Educator Workshop

Raising significant concerns with a family about a child in an OOSH setting requires planning and sensitivity, as it can often challenge a parent's perception of their child or their hopes, dreams, and aspirations.

This workshop will outline helpful strategies to reaching a successful outcome and includes the HOW, WHEN and the WHERE to raising these concerns, from the time concerns are first identified, through to building a positive on - going partnership with families. The workshop will also outline the planning required to have a potentially difficult conversation, managing emotions, working through resistance, and understanding cultural perspectives. These skills can be used by Educators in a variety of situations not exclusive to raising concerns, but also in interactions with colleagues, external professionals or in their personal life.
