Copies of all previous Child In Need Meeting minutes. An up to date Chronology of significant events Up to date single assessments for each subject A Viability Assessment of carers (if applicable), which must include PNC and DBS checks. This is necessary if children are placed with family members/carers. We will not accept cases where children are placed by the transferring authority in unregulated placements. Copies of all child protection conference minutes if the child/ren were previously subject to child protection plans. Copy of legal planning meeting minutes if the child/ren were previously considered at legal planning meeting. Child in Need Transfer meeting A child in need transfer meeting will need to be convened to progress transfer; this will be arranged jointly with the receiving team once the required documentation has been received. It is expected that the allocated social worker, significant family members and involved partner agencies involved will attend. Please be aware that if the allocated social worker is not available, whether a duty social worker can be sent to represent the transferring team will be at the discretion of the receiving team manager, and the transfer meeting may need to be rearranged. At least 48 hours before the Child in Need Transfer Meeting, an updated report needs to be sent to the Team Manager, having been shared with the family prior to this. We will consider at this meeting whether the case could step down to a “Team Around the Family” approach and if this is the case, our Locality and Community Support Team (LCSS) will pick up case responsibility following the transfer meeting. If you think it is likely that the case could step-down to a non-statutory targeted support approach, please let the Team Manager know before the meeting, and an LCSS representative can be invited to attend. Please note that receipt of this letter does not constitute agreement for case transfer; this will be considered following receipt of the required case information and discussion with the OCC Family Solutions Service Manager. Yours Sincerely, (Team) Family Solutions Team Telephone: Email:
