Introduction to Integrated Working
Following the death of Victoria Climbie, the Laming Enquiry and Report recommended new ways of working in children's services to support children, young people and families. These new ways of working are known collectively as "Integrated Working".
The key to this way of working is for practitioners to work together to identify needs earlier, and to put in place a programme of services to better meet the child and family's needs.
This will ensure that children and young people get a better start in life, and meet the five Every Child Matters outcomes:
- Be Healthy
- Stay Safe
- Enjoy and Achieve
- Achieve Economic Wellbeing
- Make a Positive Contribution
These new processes and systems include:
ContactPoint - The Government have announced the closure of the ContactPoint database.
Children's Service Directory
The Children's Service Directory provides details of family support services, play and leisure activities to parents, young people and professionals in Trafford.
Information Sharing
Trafford has developed an Information Sharing Toolkit to help practitioners share information effectively. This toolkit contains documents and guidance which can be used as part of their work with children and young people.
