Reflective Practice Clinic – Seeing the Blind Spots in Frontline Work
Duration: 90 minutes
Audience: Multi-agency frontline professionals and leaders
Overview
Frontline decisions are rarely made with full information. They are made under pressure, within stretched systems, while balancing risk, responsibility, relationships, and accountability.

Drawing on real practice scenarios and facilitated reflection, the session helps participants recognise blind spots not as failures, but as predictable features of complex work.
Key Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
