The Strength-based Approach is a meaningful and real style of writing about children in a way that starts with what they can do. It starts with where the child is now, not with what is absent, and highlights where the child can go with additional support.
The ‘Strength Based Writing’ programme will support Educators to focus on professional writing techniques when compiling Transition Reports or Snapshot Reviews. Practical examples of strength-based writing in different formats are included.
The Resource Documents section contains printable handouts to support the programme content and a Certificate of Participation is saved to the educator profile on completion.
