This series of three courses from Level One to Level Three will explore and give you a greater understanding of county lines; the connection between county lines and gangs; exploitation within county lines; who is at risk and the indictors that a child may be the victim of county lines. The programme will cover some of the theories that underpin county lies including contextual safeguarding; street capital and social fields theory; so that we can really have a holistic understanding of what children and young people are facing on a daily basis and consider how best to help them.
We formed Strengthening Practice driven by the same goal that keeps social workers and health professionals coming to work every single day: the overwhelming wish to make a positive difference to people’s lives. Together, we can bring about lasting and measurable improvements to the lives of children, young people and families.
