Isle of Wight Children’s Page

Introduction

These resources are available for you to use with the intention of you being able to click on to the appropriate tile and use the pre-planned resource tools.  These will be available to use on your own, as well as in team meetings, peer supervisions, light bite sessions, and any other similar meetings that you have in your team/service area.   The idea is that when you open the tile, the first resources will be interactive where possible, such as videos, podcasts or quizzes, that you can use for your own learning or to facilitate a discussion within your team.  Alongside these interactive resources there will also be more detailed tools for you to read on the topic.

Each set of tiles in the resource learning area towards the bottom of this page there will be approximately 5 research topics for you to use. There are also a number of tiles which will be permanently available for you.  This includes a comprehensive summary around benefits as well as case law judgements, which will be kept updated.  There are also resource tools around direct work with children, analysis, the Hampshire Approach (adopted by CSD on the Isle of Wight) and other topics.  Community Care Inform are also running research sessions for all staff, which you may wish to attend.

Each Team Manager can add to the topics available on the Isle of Wight Home Page so please let calvin.wright@iow.gov.uk or laura.clark@iow.gov.uk them know any areas of interest. Every Social Worker in the Isle of Wight is entitled to five CPD days a year pro rata to support your learning so please use these and link to your reflective log for your Social Work England Registration.

The page is divided up in to four sections:

1.) Support Tools
2.) Research Topics
3.) Isle of Wight/Hampshire Approach
4.) GETS Resources
