Conference Workshop

East Dunbartonshire - Implementing NVR at all strategic levels within the Scottish Education Context (with Jaimie Campbell and Hayley Montgomery)

This workshop offers a unique local authority perspective on embedding NVR across 3 levels of service delivery: child/family, school/establishment, and wider authority initiatives.

Drawing on real-world experience, this workshop will explore the journey of rolling out NVR to support children and young people, families, and professionals working across education, social work, and healthcare. This workshop will provide attendees insight into the challenges, successes, and practicalities of implementation, alongside examples of effective multi-agency collaboration and stakeholder experiences that bring this whole-system approach to life.
