Introduction
One of the main goals of the PROCHILD project is to provide professionals working directly with abused and maltreated minors in Child Protection and Support services, with competences and tools to improve their activity and foster collaboration with other CPS services, in the best interest of children.
To this end, the PROCHILD project envisaged several activities, including trainings addressed to professionals from social, educational and health sectors, but also to lawyers, judicial authorities and policy makers.
With this respect, the University of Bologna is organising a virtual Winter School for professionals and students, intended as a specific multi-professional training on prevention, diagnosis and treatment of the various forms of child maltreatment, domestic and gender-based violence. The School foresees different modules that will allow learners to deepen the clinical, psychological, social and legal aspects of the pathways related to cases of maltreatment and abuse.
The training will also allow a contextualisation of the best practices and procedures spread at the European level, thanks to the presentation of the PROCHILD project and the participation of international speakers, including PROCHILD partners.
