Systemic Operant Solutions (SOS):
Systemic Operant
Solutions is a method of finding solutions for vexing problems in the Care
System. It is commonly deployed in the following circumstances:
1. Multiple placement breakdowns
2. Difficulties in contact between parent and child who is in care
3. Social Workers (and the wider care system) feeling ‘stuck’ and unable to find a way out
4. Conflict between Local Authorities and Birth Family having direct impact on the child in care (CIC).
SOS combines two well-known approaches in the field of psychology and family therapy – Systems Thinking and Operant Conditioning. It aims to find solutions by implementing change through the systems around a young person and using a person’s innate motivation to achieve positive change.
