slide-10
SLIDE 10

Level 1 – Children requiring Universal Services in the Community and occasional additional support from a specialist

  • Children are achieving expected outcomes and have

their needs met within universal service provision without the need for additional support.

  • Agencies provide universal prevention and address the

entire population with the aim of reducing later incidences or problems and signpost to other services when required.

  • Single agency specialist support provided as needed.
slide-11
SLIDE 11

Level 2 – Vulnerable children requiring a co-ordinated multi agency Early Help approach. Children are likely to require additional support for a period of time from a range of agencies

  • Children who are starting to divert from expected outcomes and

require time limited intervention.

  • Agencies provide preventative services that aim to respond quickly

when problems arise in order to prevent them getting worse.

  • The support is co-ordinated by the Lead Professional, who may

come from any agency and acts as a single point of contact for the families through a process of change both supporting and challenging until outcomes are met.

slide-12
SLIDE 12

Level 3 – Vulnerable children requiring timely intervention, Child in Need of services (Section 17)

  • Children who are not achieving the expected outcomes,

and require more intensive but time limited support from a range of services overseen by Children’s Services.

  • Agencies provide prevention and therapy/help when the

problem becomes serious.

  • The Assessment and Intervention teams based in the

four quadrants will undertake Child and Family Assessments

slide-13
SLIDE 13

Level 4 – Children, young people and families requiring specialist support in order to meet their needs, led by Children’s Services, risk of significant harm (Section 47)

  • Children who require intensive help and support from a

limited range of specialist services led by Children’s Services

  • Agencies provide specialist services that are

underpinned by wrap-around support services to help children ‘step down’.

Try it out exercise

Please read the short case study on the McArdle family In small groups of 4/5 can you experiment with mapping this family story using the framework and flip chart provided.

  • Think about the language you use in answering the questions.
  • Think about what the young person or family member might

say as well as your professional view.

  • Keep your focus on the impact (so what?) for each child
  • Make sure your actions link to what the worry is.
slide-18
SLIDE 18

Strength-based practice must be embedded in all activities to promote the approach and shows children and families we are committed to working positively with them The shared language needs to be used so that there is consistency for everyone involved

  • How would/ could Safer Surrey be visible in your service, agency,

work?

  • Can you identify a quick win?
  • What will help you in embedding Safer Surrey into your service, team

and practice?
