This is open to solicitors and barristers in Family Law. It provides an outline of the ParentAssess framework and describes the approach adopted. It explains how case law and the Good Practice Guidance 2021 are applied. It provides tips on what to look out for to ensure the parent and the child have been given appropriate consideration.

Train the Trainer

This is open to Local Authorities who have trained a group of staff but want to be able to train others due to any future staff turnover.
