Solution Focused Consultations (SFC) with VSKAT, Education Psychologist and Education Provision.

VSKAT hold termly school solution-focused consultations for education provisions and social workers (if applicable) to discuss individual children (with parental consent). Unfortunately, they are unable to invite families along to these discussions.

In these consultations, they will help to think in a solution-focused and trauma-informed way about the young person’s needs and what the next steps may be in supporting them to overcome any barriers to learning.

Following an initial consultation with their team, if issues are not resolved, they will invite the education setting (and social worker if applicable) to the next available Solution Focused Consultation. They will send the education setting a Solution Focused Consultation Form for them and the parents/carers to fill in (including obtaining consent to discuss their child). The education setting is responsible for feeding back to parents and Kinship carers following the discussion along with any outcomes or next steps.
