Workforce Development Continues...

The vision for Families First training and development is to create a skilled, confident and resilient multi-agency workforce that supports whole family working. To support this we have been updating our Families First Portal Learning and Development page as well as our workforce shadowing offer.

Workforce Shadowing

Although limited, there are still opportunities available to "workforce shadow". Which encourages more effective working relationships, enhanced communication and can help to strengthen and develop professional relationships.

Virtual working has, in some cases made shadowing easier to access, and we have opportunities to shadow Families First Triage, Specialist Adolescent Services Hertfordshire (SASH), Intensive Family Support Teams and YC Hertfordshire. In addition some partners are able to provide 1-1 overviews of their service on request. 

If this is something you/or your team member feel would be of benefit, please email familiesfirst.support@hertfordshire.gov.uk stating the service you would like to shadow and the preferred district and we will do our best to facilitate a shadowing opportunity. Please clearly mark the subject WORKFORCE SHADOWING.
