FFC Child Protection
Introduction
Establishing family help will result in a new approach to the way families access and receive support. This must run alongside a child protection system that protects all children from significant harm – inside and outside of the home. Children will have different needs and vulnerabilities and, as such, the type of significant harm they experience and the context in which this happens will vary significantly.
Our ambition is for a child protection system that is decisive, multi-agency with multidisciplinary skills, where practitioners have the expertise, experience, time and support to identify actual or likely significant harm quickly and take rapid and effective protective action. We will create a child protection system where the rationale for decisions are clear and focus on the needs and best interests of children, involving parents, family networks and others in a transparent and compassionate way.
Key Features
- Establish the Lead Child Protection Practitioner (LCPP) role, underpinned by clear skills, responsibilities, processes co-working with family help, supervision and case oversight.
- Operationalise a multi-agency child protection team (MACPT), secure dedicated resource across agencies and clarify its’ core functions.
- Improve parents’ experiences and engagement with child protection, including through independent parental representation.
