00:00:06.937 --> 00:00:08.625
There's a few

00:00:08.625 --> 00:00:11.625
points I just want to now conclude with,

00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:16.000
three key elements to what
I think should be,

00:00:17.125 --> 00:00:20.875
what we could call as principle
an ethical rights based social work.

00:00:21.812 --> 00:00:24.687
The first one is about
we must uphold the child's

00:00:24.687 --> 00:00:27.687
rights and manage these
with the rights of the with the parents.

00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:31.500
And when the child's right to protection
supersedes the parent's right

00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:33.312
to a private family life.

00:00:33.312 --> 00:00:36.937
I think we need to have the tools
and the skills to be able to explain

00:00:36.937 --> 00:00:41.312
these processes,
transparently and humanely.

00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.500
Secondly, we want to endeavor
to collaborate with parents,

00:00:45.500 --> 00:00:50.437
build upon their strengths, and establish
shared goals and allow them to determine

00:00:50.500 --> 00:00:53.875
how they will achieve
the goal of increasing child safety.

00:00:56.375 --> 00:00:59.500
and finally, we can't make parents change,

00:00:59.500 --> 00:01:02.875
nor can I force them to access
support services.

00:01:03.062 --> 00:01:06.000
But I can have a conversation with them
where

00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:09.750
they're provided the space
to consider the possibility of,

00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:12.187
change.

00:01:12.187 --> 00:01:15.625
And then this conversation
needs to be nested within a broader

00:01:15.625 --> 00:01:18.187
conversation about,

00:01:18.187 --> 00:01:21.750
consequences, which are framed,
which are framed and shared

00:01:21.750 --> 00:01:24.625
in a particular way,
not as a kind of punishment,

00:01:24.625 --> 00:01:28.312
just an explanation of what might happen
should change, not occur.

00:01:28.312 --> 00:01:32.125
It's a kind of it's a choice, really,
although it's admittedly a

00:01:32.125 --> 00:01:33.437
very limited choice.
