Organising my practice

Using this tool

The question we ask ourselves is:

'Have I got all the things I need in my kete to help build and deepen my understanding with this whānau or family?'

We can use this tool alone, in supervision or in a group setting whenever we need to plan and organise our practice. Examples include, but aren’t limited to:

• planning how we will begin our work with tamariki, rangatahi, whānau or family and others
• for discussion in supervision
• in preparation for a consult, hui ā-whānau or a professionals’ hui to assist our planning and how we are going to articulate our social work view
• in case transfers or handovers
• when working with partners to explain what we are doing and how
• at any time we think it’s needed.

Prompts are provided as a starting point.
