The explosion of acronyms for therapy makes me feel overwhelmed. In this episode, I’m speaking about the flaws of alphabet therapies and how to overcome them.

S2 E4 Make more impact with the COM-B model
The COM-B model is an incredibly useful tool that I like and never hesitate to utilise in my life and work.

Whether you are a trainer or a manager - you need to know about this model.

S1 E4 Be Informed - Cumulative Harm in Child Protection Practice
In this episode, we keep you informed by exploring an article by Bryce (2018), where she discusses child protection responses to cumulative harm. Bryce identifies that current child protection legislation in Australia is not adequate for responding to cumulative harm due to the focus on immediate harm caused by the abuse, rather than the long term impact which may not manifest for several years. Therefore Bryce argues there should be more of a child protection focus on family need and child well-being, rather than purely on the immediate risk to the child.
