Practitioner Forums
The forums provide an opportunity to develop common practice across the county and help people who work with children and young people learn from each other, understand each other's roles and responsibilities and what local provision is available in each part of the county.
You may already have had an invitation to a Practitioner Forum if you have been a regular attendee to a Forum. If you have not had an invitation or you have not attended a Practitioner Forum before but would like to join the forum, then email us to be added to the distribution list.
