Working Together to Safeguard Children - a guide to inter-agency
working to safeguard and promote the welfare of children (2013)
This guidance sets out how organisations and individuals should
work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of children
and how practitioners should conduct the assessment of children.
This guidance replaces Working Together to Safeguard Children
(2010); The Framework for the Assessment of Children in Need and
their Families (2000); and statutory guidance on making
arrangements to safeguard and promote the welfare of children
under section 11 of the Children Act 2004 (2007). Links to
relevant supplementary guidance that professionals should
consider alongside this guidance can be found at Appendix C of
this guidance. The guidance will come into effect from 15 April
2013.
