Referral – Requires Improvement look like… Basic Information – Requires Improvement look like… Assessment – Requires Improvement look like… Planning – Requires Improvement look like… Review – Requires Improvement looks like… Management Oversight – Requires Improvement look like… Referral gave enough evidence that it was appropriate to refer to social care. LL recording is contemporaneous, concise and sets out clear plans, which are measureable and understandable. Assessment identifies some strengths/safety and areas of concern, analysis is limited and may not include key members of the household (including fathers and partners) An up-to-date Care plan is in place (including a PEP, health plan, placement plan and permanency plan for looked after children), setting out the child/YP’s needs and how they will be met. Plan (CIN, CP or Looked After) have been reviewed in accordance with statutory/procedural requirements Supervision has been taking place in accordance with supervision policy. Referral gives some indication of areas of strength and safety for family. Danger statements, safety goals, and scaling are evident on file but not clear and concise addressing specific behaviours Assessment identifies a case plan which does not fully address risk/need. The plan is reviewed regularly and within statutory timescales. Parents/carers/child/YP and professionals are invited to reviews and their attendance supported. There is some evidence of using Signs of Safety (ie. three columns) but not an in-depth analysis using the framework Referral on agreed format, but not all relevant information recorded. LL records provide some evidence of quality assurance activity on records. There is some consideration of family/friends network support, but this not fully explored to enlist their help and support for the child/family The plan is more focused on tasks and services rather than “who, within the family and friends network, will do what in the children’s day to day life to keep them safe and well” Review meetings are focussed on the child/YP’s needs and encourage their engagement. Supervision decisions are recorded on the child’s electronic file but limited evidence of reflection and evaluation of work carried out.
