Signs of Safety Convening, November 8

Please note: The location for this event has been moved due to high turnout--it will now be held at Freeborn Hall on the UC Davis campus (for a map, see here).

The goal of this convening is to bring together California counties that are implementing (or considering implementing) a coordinated use of Signs of Safety with other risk and safety tools like CAT and SDM. The convening is a unique opportunity for counties to share their experiences and results over time with each other and to inform child welfare supportive organizations, showing them how public child welfare agencies are expanding their practice to better assess child safety and improved family engagement. 

Objectives 

• Understanding the importance of organizational leadership and readiness for successful implementation 
• Identifying elements of effective implementation strategies and the critical nature of coaching throughout the implementation process 
• Describing the current landscape of safety and risk assessment practice and current findings from California evaluation 
• Exploring the issue of capacity building within CWS agencies and within the state 

Who should attend 

All California counties that are (and are interested in) implementing Signs of Safety, specifically county leadership and staff who plan for capacity, sustainability and spread, Regional Training Academies, coaches and trainers. Foundations and community providers are also invited. 

This convening is sponsored by Casey Family Programs and the Northern California Training Academy.
