We are really excited to announce some upcoming online practice workshops!
This popular series of four online, three-hour practice workshops will focus on building practitioner’s skills in applying Signs of Safety in their everyday work with children, parents, their support network and professional partners.
Here are the dates and details of the four online workshops, plus the theme of each workshop.
20th September: Analysis — Danger Statements, Safety Goals and Safety Scaling Questions
26th September: Appreciative Inquiry
5th October: Safety Planning — Timeline and Trajectory
12th October: Safety Planning — Preparation, Monitoring and Review
This workshop will give an opportunity for participants to grow their skill in the use of Appreciative Inquiry and to understand what makes this way of learning the “engine room of Signs of Safety”. We will look at the hard question of how Appreciative Inquiry might be included in day-to-day practice in the midst of competing demands experienced by all child protection professionals. Fred and Manna will share highlights of their experiences and reflections found in their newly released Appreciative Inquiry Workbook and will lead a conversation about how Appreciative Inquiry is foundational to the implementation of Signs of Safety.
Participants attending this workshop will receive a complimentary PDF copy of Manna and Fred’s new Appreciative Inquiry workbook.
Facilitated by Manna Van ‘t Slot and Fred Magie.

Facilitators
Manna van ‘t Slot studied Child Psychology and has worked since 2008 as a supervisor at Bureau Jeugdzorg Drenthe, spending several years with the Referral and Assessment Team and several years with Long Term Child Protection Teams.
Manna has provided training in the Signs of Safety approach to workers, supervisors, and managers throughout The Netherlands and German speaking countries, as well as internationally. She has worked intensely with Andrew Turnell and knows the Signs of Safety approach inside out. Equally important is the fact that she is an enthusiastic leader and supervisor of front-line child protection workers. Manna has presented on this subject at several Signs of Safety Gatherings.
Effective child protection practice is grounded in practitioners who can think through cases systematically and with depth — this happens most consistently where people work in strong teams, and such teams require strong leadership and structured individual and group supervision. Leadership, supervision and teamwork in using Signs of Safety as a parallel process is Manna’s specialty. Manna wants people to understand the processes, ideas, and attitudes behind the Tools of Signs of Safety, so people can integrate them in their own system and thrive towards structural whole system learning.
Fred Magie is a Signs of Safety trainer and consultant based in Hamilton, Ontario. Fred has a deep appreciation for what it can mean to implement Signs of Safety within a child protection organization, having witnessed the commitment and diligence of many in both Canada and the United States. Using this perspective, Fred brings his reflective style to the work of growing an agency’s capacity to assess and build safety plans collaboratively and through critical thinking. As well, Fred continues as an implementation leader for The Children’s Aid Society of Hamilton, his home agency since 1997, providing workshop trainings and practice consultation.
