SILP LEAD REVIEWER COURSE
SILP is a learning model which engages
frontline staff and their managers in
reviewing cases, focussing on why those
involved acted in a certain way. It follows
a systems methodology, as is required by
Working Together to Safeguard Children
2013. SILP also highlights what is working
well and patterns of good practice. For
these reasons, the demand for SILP has
grown and we are looking to train SILP
reviewers.
SILP has been described by participants as
action learning, commenting on the
problem-solving approach and quality of
outcomes:
‘The SILP process allows for more meaningful
learning, it’s less threatening for practitioners, so they
are willing to engage as all agencies work together
to identify the learning outcomes with the help of
the facilitator, rather than being told what they are
by a panel. The SCR can lose sight of the learning in
favour of producing a good enough report.’

APPLICATIONS
‘I had lost sight of the child in my recording and
focused on the adults’ needs. The SILP process,
albeit a painful experience, was extremely
therapeutic. The multi-agency element has
changed my recording practice to be more robust
on the purpose of contact, detailed analysis and
planned outcomes for the child.’
