Learning and capability framework delivered for State Government Department

“Blue Seed has been able to pull together an outstanding framework with a small number of inputs. Your consultant has engaged with a wide range of stakeholders at all levels to develop the foundations needed to build learning/support materials and up skill our impacted audiences (more than 35,000 people) internally and externally. We are confident moving forward with the framework and we now understand more fully the breadth and depth of change needed to fully transform our casework practices.”

Project Manager – State Government department

Brief

The State Government department has been actively designing and building a technology platform to support the delivery of child protection services and enhance practices. The solution will impact a range of internal stakeholders employed in a range of roles (e.g.  casework, screening, placement, safety and risk assessments) and external audiences (police, health, other community support services and non-government agencies). The solution is being staged and is forecasted to be made available to internal employees later this year and external audiences in early 2018 (about 40,000 people in total). The Capability Framework details the components needed to build skills in the use of the system, enhance practices through real-time information and access to digital mobile plug-ins that will enable collaboration between professionals and improve information quality.
