Importance of Continuous Professional Development (CPD)
Continuous Professional Development (CPD) and training programs play a pivotal role in enhancing the accuracy of age assessments. These programs equip social workers and other professionals with the latest methodologies, best practices, and legal updates relevant to age assessments.
Benefits of Specialized Training
Training helps practitioners develop a deeper understanding of cultural, psychological, and social factors that influence age determination. It also provides practical skills in interviewing techniques, evidence gathering, and applying Merton guidelines.
Role of Organizations in CPD
Organizations offering CPD and specialized training sessions, like those advertised on platforms such as Eventbrite, ensure that professionals stay informed and competent. Regular training improves the accuracy of assessments and boosts the confidence and efficiency of those conducting them.
Government Initiatives and Training Support
With the new Border Security Command’s focus, there may be increased opportunities and funding for training programs, further improving the accuracy and reliability of age assessments. This renewed commitment to border security can lead to better-equipped professionals and more precise age determinations for unaccompanied minors.
