What t next? t? 1. Focus on greens first. What is going well in their lives? Why did you put green for there? 2. Gradually move on to amber and reds – ask why they chose that colour. This may happen organically or you may need to ask further questions. 3. Ask what would make a ‘red’ better? – These help form the wellbeing goals. 4. Go back to green to finish on a positive. 5. For an Early Help case this helps complete the Family Assessment. @HeadStartKent #headstartmatters
Benefit its of Domains Based Conversati tions An accessible, visual representation of their lives through the domains. Extra information given. (Particularly with young adolescents who struggle with communicating their feelings) Better suited for adolescents than the “three houses” - the domains tool offers an excellent alternative. Not designed to create more work! @HeadStartKent #headstartmatters

Domains Acti tivity ty 1. You would normally have the young person with you but for now, think of a young person you’ve spoken to or worked with recently – remember to keep the young person and their family anonymous. 2. With what you know, RAG rate at least one of the domains for this young person. (You may need to use your professional judgement) Once you’ve got a completed domain, discuss how you would use 3. this tool to start and finish your conversation with the young person. 4. Discuss how you could use Domains Based Conversations within your own role/organisation? @HeadStartKent #headstartmatters
