Pre-birth assessments are an area of practice that can raise profound ethical and professional challenges.
Assessing parenting before the birth of a child requires a very clear framework for understanding parenting, and great care has to be taken as to what is considered ‘evidence’ in the assessment process.

This webinar will cover:

• A conceptual framework for undertaking pre-birth assessment with families in these circumstances;
• The meaning of child centred practice in pre-birth assessments;
• An understanding of how we can practice in both a humane and strengths-based manner that promotes parenting capacity and partnership practice with families in pre-birth assessments;
• Key inter agency issues and how we can work ef- fectively as multi–disciplinary groups of professionals to promote positive outcomes in
pre-birth assessments.
