In today's episode I'm pleased to be joined again by MI Trainer, Jackie Webb and Consultant Social Worker Sharron Ricketts to continue our conversation about how MI can be used to support families and safeguard children.
In previous episodes we've discussed how MI can be used to support change - but what about those times when the journey of change isn't an option, and we need to deliver difficult messages and hold really challenging conversations?
Is MI still relevant in these situations?
Once again Jackie joins us to share some of her knowledge and wisdom on the subject, and Sharron shares with us some of the really challenging situations she's had to face when working with families in crisis, and how MI has guided her to gain positive outcomes for children.
If you've not heard any of the previous episodes in this MI series we recommend going back and listening to Parts 1-4 first, before listening to this episode.

In today's episode we've been lucky enough to speak to Fiona Phur, who we manage to catch just hours before she retired from a long and effective career where she has worked tirelessly with children and young people across Somerset to gain their voices and represent their views at the highest level to those who effect change.

Fi talks to us about the importance of ensuring the voices of children and young people are kept at the heart of services at all times, how she and her team have worked to accomplish this, how the various young people's groups she supports ensure they are representative of as many young people as possible and how even the smallest of voices can make the biggest changes.
