Abstract The course will familiarise members with the content and modular structure of the Programme. There will be didactic input. Case discussion will be used to highlight how a client’s identified risk factors and needs may be tailored in a collaborative manner to formulate an individualised treatment pathway. Course attendees will be given material to study between the 2 days of this event. Attendees will be provided with a hard copy of the Programme Manual.
Course attendees should have a relevant professional qualification and experience, supplemented by specialist knowledge of the sexual abuse field. They should have professional support and supervision in their work and be familiar with local child protection and public safety procedures. Use of the NITP is conditional on attending this familiarisation training.
Attendees will be sent hard copies of the Theory and Programme Manuals prior to the event along with a case study which will be used to frame exercises during the event.
Considerable work has been undertaken to deliver the event on line. There will be didactic presentations with opportunities for questions, and exercises based on the case study with the use of break out rooms for discussion.
