Perspective Probing Programme

Perspective Probing is a simple, concise, commonsense programme that presents pertinent questions to both children and adult family members, in order for them to face up to / come to terms with their own reality / perceptions and expectations.

It is only when the latter has been achieved can a school truly engage with pupils and their families. In a nutshell, Perspective Probing is about laying foundations for effective communication and constructive relationships, having gained a greater insight into what makes the child/family tick.

The questions are those which the most effective practitioners I have worked with would like answered. The programme has successfully been used within the schools environment, enhancing relationships between children, families, teachers and the social services network.

The right questions, asked at the right time, in the right way, can have a profound positive impact on children and their families.
