DCC seek to maximise the potential for impact of their service on achieving successful outcomes for children and their families, this will include • fewer children in care • fewer children subject to child protection plans • fewer children in need This will be achieved by extending and embedding the practice approach across the wider multi-agency partnership where possible. This may include public health nursing which will become part of DCC managed service from April 2019. DCC need to develop skills in using practice tools which enable this approach when working with families. There are many specific or specialist tools that complement a restorative framework. As part of this proposal, alongside the whole service delivery of restorative practice and supervision training and role modelling, DCC will also train practitioners and managers in motivational interviewing.
