Additional Information

Level 1: Single agency response Level 2: Multi-agency response – initiated by Child Concern Model Meeting Level 3: Specialist services intervention Child Concern Model (CCM) – an early intervention (more than one agency) information sharing platform to discuss and identify additional need, jointly with parent/carer and young person (if appropriate) Various outcomes of CCM meeting:

Common Assessment Framework (CAF) – is initiated via CCM process CAF – a tool to support identification of additional need(s) as early as possible CAF – information document to request services at Family Support Panel CAF – can also be used to inform colleagues undertaking a specialist assessment Step Down Arrangements – CCM and CAF to be used to monitor children and young people who have recently received a specialist service i.e. safeguarding plan.

young people and families, preventing duplication

early intervention

  • Shared responsibility across all agencies

based

Assumptions

Victoria “stood to attention” before Kouou & Manning “…concluded that this type of relationship was

  • ne seen in many Afro-Caribbean families

because respect and obedience are very important…” Pastor Orome attributed Victoria’s potentially concerning behaviour to the fact that she had come “freshly” from Africa.
