ASPire 2026: Supported self-evaluation

This is an ASPire webinar from January 2026. Its themes are supported self-evaluation, notably of adults for whom it is difficult to determine the three-point criteria, and risk assessment. The focus is especially on adults where there are escalating risks, repeated presentations or continuous referral to services.

Improving chronology practice: Learning stories

These three learning stories from the National Chronologies Group show how chronology practice was improved through approaches that foregrounded practitioner experience, and focused on increasing the capacity of managers to support their teams. The stories highlight drivers for change, navigating technical issues, and co-designing improvement activity with practitioners.

Out of sight - is everything alright? Working to improve services' engagement with people at risk of harm (Webinar)

This webinar explores the challenges professionals face when individuals are "out of sight" - and what more we can do to ensure they are not out of mind, or at risk of harm.

Drawing on recent Adult Support and Protection (ASP) Learning Reviews, the webinar examines situations where services struggled to engage meaningfully with individuals at risk. Through expert insights and real-world case reflections, the webinar asks: are we truly listening, adapting, and responding in ways that meet people where they are?

Sessions in the webinar:
