Online Practice Manual
Leading the way
Child Centred Practice recognises that the multifaceted task of children’s social work needs a fully-integrated resource manual that links comprehensive current policy, process and practice in a convenient online guide linked directly to daily activity in the workplace.
Our solution is the online Practice Manual developed in consultation with your agency, which is updated frequently as we monitor the rapidly changing external environment of policy and guidelines and help you to apply them in the workplace.
Supported by the blended learning, an optional program provided by Child Centred Practice, your staff will develop a comprehensive set of core skills backed by supportive references online.
Our manual helps ease the complexity of theory with the reality of daily work demands in a busy agency and assists staff to practice due diligence, by providing work processes that comply with external policy guidelines while merging with your in-house systems. We provide access to resources and support systems at the click of a button. Our manual helps build the skills of front line practitioners on-the-job.
The manual assists senior management to achieve a high level of accountability by empowering front-line practitioners with knowledge and tools that are up-to-date.
Making it easy
We can provide guidance specific to your agency, factoring in your unique services and decision making processes. Using any internet software browser you will be able to access the manual with a secure login. You can open it from your intranet, providing a seamless service that helps to integrate the manual as part of corporate values and shared agency tools.
Child Centred Practice uses a content management system LightCMS to deliver the manual. This is a standards-based HTML and CSS content management system and is a hosted service.
