CRI – A provider perspective
Focusing on ‘targeted’ services – ie not those
already held in safeguarding systems with CP plan
etc.
• Consider barriers to engagement with substance
misusing parents
• Consider what an early recovery plan would look
like.
• What are the barriers to parents moving through
and leaving recovery services
• Examining our own fears around risk and planning
for the ‘risks of recovery’
Format of workshop
We’re going to ‘segment’ into three groups.
•Engagement
•Early recovery
•Successful completion and the onward journey to
better than well
Keep some key concepts in mind throughout the
journey
- Recovery Capital – Parental Resilience - Systemic
Thinking – Dynamic Risk Management – Team
around the family
Group 1
How can we improve our engagement with
parents at early entry points ?
How can we improve our response to
parents who don’t meet the safeguarding
threshold ?
How, and when, do we assess parental
need, risks and resilience factors ?
Group 2 – Early recovery stage
With a team around the family, who else would should
be involved in the recovery support plan? How and
when does this team change?
What would a parent’s early recovery plan contain ?
During the early recovery journey what changes
1. For the parent?
2. For the child(ren)?
Group 3 – Recovery phase
Considering what we’ve heard about inoculating factors,
what causes parents to be in treatment for longer?
During this treatment stage what future further risks need
to be considered?
What recovery capital should be in place to maximize long
term outcomes for parents ?
