GIRFEC Training Open Session
- Type: Training
- Date: 05/06/2025 at 10:00am - 12:00pm
- Location: Online

Join us for a training session on GIRFEC approaches and principles, and consider what this means for your role and practice.
The ALLIANCE Children and Young People Programme is hosting a GIRFEC Training session open to individual practitioners or small teams.
GIRFEC is a Scottish Government policy with the vision of making Scotland the best place for all children and young people to grow by implementing good practices and supporting children’s wellbeing. It is essential for children and young people, as well as their parents and carers, to be informed so they are empowered to use the tools and language of GIRFEC to access adequate and timely support when needed.
This two hour training session is CPD accredited, and through a blend of information sharing, reflective discussion and learning from peers, attendees will:
• Have an increased knowledge and understanding of GIRFEC
• Understand how to use the GIRFEC toolkit
• Understand how to promote children and young people’s wellbeing by using the GIRFEC approach
• Have access to ALLIANCE GIRFEC materials and know where to find further sources of support
Training acts as a helpful introduction for those new to GIRFEC approaches, principles, and tools or as an update and refresher for those with more experience.
To secure your place, or if you have any questions, contact GIRFEC@alliance-scotland.org.uk
Please note that we’ll be running additional GIRFEC Training Open sessions throughout the year. If you’d like to be updated as new dates are released, sign up for our Children and Young People newsletter by emailing GIRFEC@alliance-scotland.org.uk
