Course Content

This course will offer participants the opportunity to consider a number of approaches to both Key Working and Care Planning. Both activities take place in many agencies working with people over a period of time, and the approach used at Connection will be put forward as a model for participants to consider.

There will be plenty of opportunity to share practise from participants’ own agencies. In particular, the following issues will be looked at:

• Key Working: The Connection Model
• The Support Plan
• Client Participation, to include issues around boundaries
• Use of Peer Support and supervision
• External agency contact and relevant others in the support process
