CCF provides a wide range of training for staff working in both community based and residential educational settings. We have successfully trained staff and supported the implementation of a cognitive behavioural programme in a number of secondary schools. The programme (The Ross Programme) is targeted at pupils who are on the brink of exclusion due to their behaviour.

Assessment
We can provide assessment instruments for Needs, Conduct Disorder, Emotional Intelligence, Anti-Social Traits, Domestic Violence, Alcohol/Drugs Dependency, Feelings, Attitudes and Behaviours in Children amongst many others.
Our staff are approved trainers for a wide range of validated assessment instruments.
Effective Practice Skills
Our work in partnership with Professor Chris Trotter of Monash University, Australia, to develop Pro Social Modelling training is highly regarded throughout the UK and has a significant relevance for staff working in educational settings. We have introduced a ‘training for trainers’ model and other recent developments include the provision of a Family Problem Solving module.
CCF has also hosted a number of highly successful national and international conferences, as well as local seminars on a wide range of ‘effective practice’ themes.
Programmes
We have a wide range of intervention programmes for children. The Ross Programme has been particularly successful in school settings. We also have programmes designed specifically for Girls and Young Women, Young Firesetters and Sexually Harming Adolescents as well as programmes addressing Violence Reduction, Hate Crime, Gang membership and Car Crime.
