SILP LEAD REVIEWER COURSE SILP is a learning model which engages frontline staff and their managers in reviewing cases, focussing on why those involved acted in a certain way. It follows a systems methodology, looking at those factors in the system which influenced the way events unfolded. SILP also highlights what is working well and patterns of good practice. ABOUT THE COURSE The course will expand and update areas covered in the SILP Lead Reviewer Training, including areas such as the changes in Working Together to Safeguard Children 2015 and Safeguarding Adult Reviews. It will deal with our latest innovation to the model, MALP, and will include troubleshooting around issues that have arisen in SILP Reviews over the last year, offering practical advice on case management. Accredited SILP Lead Reviewers are required to undertake refresher training on an annual basis in order to maintain their accreditation.
