Case Studies
Case studies are anonymised real-life stories highlighting how agencies have worked to safeguard, protect, and support children and their families. They are an effective learning tool, providing professionals with the ability to see services and tools in action, understand a situation from a different perspective and demonstrate areas of good practice.
The toolkit case studies listed below can be downloaded for training purposes, team meetings and staff briefing sessions.
