Capacity Building for Local Authorities

Our capacity-building services focus on enhancing the skills and competencies of Local Authorities, enabling them to conduct age assessments with greater accuracy and confidence. Our approach includes:

Reviewing Current Policies and Frameworks: We conduct thorough reviews of existing local policies, frameworks, and capacities to identify strengths and areas for improvement. This assessment helps in understanding the current landscape and pinpointing where changes can be made to enhance efficiency and effectiveness.
Strengthening Skills: By focusing on the development and reinforcement of existing skills, we help build confidence among professionals. This results in more informed and effective decision-making. Our training programmes are tailored to address the specific needs of your team, ensuring they are well-equipped to handle the complexities of age assessments.
Professional Support: We offer comprehensive support to key professionals and staff on current immigration and social care issues. This includes staying up-to-date with the latest policies and practices, ensuring your team is always informed and prepared.
Competency Development: Our goal is to help staff develop the necessary competencies and skills to become more effective assessors. This involves a combination of training, mentorship, and practical experience, ensuring your team can perform at their best.

Sustainable and Affordable Solutions for Age Assessments

In the rapidly changing sector of age assessments, it is crucial to develop strategies, structures, policies, and processes that are both effective and cost-efficient. Our services in this area include:

Strategic Guidance: We provide strategic guidance on developing effective solutions, identifying areas for development, and implementing cost-effective methods. Our aim is to enhance service delivery without compromising on quality.
Expert Advice: Our team of experts offers valuable insights and guidance to help Local Authorities create robust strategies, structures, policies, and processes. This ensures that age assessments are conducted accurately and efficiently, leading to better service delivery.
Development Areas: We identify key areas for development within your current practices and provide targeted recommendations to improve them. This continuous improvement approach ensures that your team can adapt to changes and maintain high standards.

Troubleshooting and Optimal Practices

Navigating the complexities of age assessments can be challenging, but our troubleshooting services are designed to help. We assist Local Authorities in overcoming obstacles and optimising their practices:

Case Backlog Management: We offer solutions to help manage and reduce case backlogs, ensuring that age assessments are conducted in a timely and efficient manner. This not only improves service delivery but also enhances the overall experience for those being assessed.
Shadowing Opportunities: To further develop the skills of your team, we provide opportunities for Local Authority social workers and staff to shadow our processes. This hands-on experience allows them to learn best practices and apply them in their own work, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.

Adapting to New Government Initiatives

With the latest announcement on 7th July 2024 by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, the government has redirected funds from the Rwanda plan to establish a new Border Security Command (BSC). This significant change in policy underscores the importance of bolstering border security and tackling illegal migration. At EG Age Assessments Training & Consultancy Services, we are committed to aligning our support with these new government directives.

Aligning with New Border Security Initiatives: We ensure that our strategies and training programmes are updated to reflect the latest government policies, including the establishment of the BSC. This alignment guarantees that Local Authorities are equipped with the most current knowledge and practices.
Financial Efficiency: As the government audits and reallocates funds, we provide guidance on how Local Authorities can optimise their resources for age assessments, ensuring financial efficiency and effective service delivery.
