LL recording is out of date, unfocussed, and does not provide sufficiently clear information to support decision making.

There is no care plan – including the absence of any of the following (PEP, Health Plan, Placement Plan, Permanency Plan (from 2nd LAC review).

The plan is a list of tasks to complete and places to go rather than a plan of who will do what in the child’s day to day life to help them be safe and well. Key family members/child/YP or professionals are sometimes not invited to review meetings. Supervision records do not provide outline of decision making, have no evidence of reflection or analysis and/or fail to address concerns. Consent is missing when it would be reasonable for it to have been obtained or rationale for not obtaining consent is not documented. No evidence of quality assurance activity on the child’s LL records. Assessment uses jargonistic language (ie. developmental milestones, inappropriate behaviour, significant harm) and is not written in language that is plain and clear to parents/carers. Family network meetings have not taking place as part of assessment or planning Review meetings are not meeting the child’s needs and do not act to encourage the child/YP’s engagement. Supervision has not been effective in ensuring referrals and actions are effectively progressed.
