Great idea, would be pleased to be part of it. Are we envisaging a series of short talks - perhaps with workshop and discussion elements, with titles/themes connecting somehow to SF? Cheers, Paul Z
Applying solutions-focus techniques to team development offers you a quick, effective and economical way to get more from your people. Using solutions-focused techniques, you will soon have everyone drawing on their strengths to work more collaborat…
We are very excited about the forthcoming solution focused conference at Keele University Staffordshire, June 12th 2009. This will be the 6th National Conference of the UK Association for solution focused practice (UKASFP). The overiding theme for t…
I very much like Chris and Guy's statement. Would agree with changing 'urge' to invite.
In Rayya's latest draft, the opening paras seem to describe things that were very shadowy in the Panorama as much too concrete - and makes more of a connection…
Thanks Guy, looking forward to your re-write.
I agree there's merit in knowing nothing and saying nothing about the particular case, and I certainly don't mind that element being revised or removed from a UKASFP statement.
Isn't it appealing, though…
Thanks for the clarification, Chris. I agree then not to comment on her. The issue is indeed one of passing on information - and vague hopes that things would have been better if the info in the video had been passed. All very tenuous.
First 3 para…
So... no-one actually knows whether there was any SF used by the child protection worker. (If it was used, it was not used well. Panorama insinuates it was used, but to my recall does not state it explicitly. It's the supposedly-shocking but actuall…
Now I'm a little confused: Rayya has been writing as if the worker was using SFA and now adds that 'the video was her evidence'. I was under the impression that the video was made by Sue Gillmore and that the worker on the Baby P case was someone el…
Great stuff, Rayya. A suggested redraft of the first 3 paras, below:
We, the members of the United Kingdom Association of Solution Focused Practice, were deeply saddened by news of the death of Baby P. We'd like to respond to some misleading commen…
Good point - Panorama 'insinuates' that SFBT was implicated. The main news chain about SFBT is something like:
a manager was getting SF training at Brief
she made a video about Baby P's mother as part of the training
the video includes mention of th…
It is clear from viewing the BBC Panorama programme that a proper application of the solutions-focused Signs of Safety approach could only have benefitted Baby P.
The ‘serious failings’ of management, leadership and practice reported in the program…
I think confusing possibly, although I don't think u can add a group unless u have a web address...? - i tried earlier! & it didn't work!
Look f'ward to seeing u in July!
