Help every child get the right support at the right time by attending our GIRFEC training
Delivered by the ALLIANCE’s Children and Young People programme, our CPD accredited GIRFEC training provides a clear overview of the policy’s principles and values and key components of the GIRFEC approach. Through reflective discussion and peer learning, participants are supported to build their confidence and capability in applying GIRFEC in practice, while exploring what they can influence within their own role to support local implementation.

- Understand how to promote children, young people and families’ wellbeing by using the GIRFEC approach
- Know where to find further GIRFEC materials and support
