Introduction
A large part of a children practitioner’s role is to draft various documents. Good drafting leads to better advocacy in court and at advocates and planning meetings.
How are you with drafting a case summary or a position statement? What do you include and leave out?
What about a threshold document? When is the document ‘Re A’ compliant?
Do you still complete a Scott Schedule, or do you prepare a ‘narrative statement’ or both?
What type of directions are required when seeking to instruct an expert?
What directions are required when seeking to lodge any placement application?

These and other questions will be answered in this webinar.
