We all believe that every child and young person should have the opportunity to reach their full potential and that they are best supported to grow and achieve within their own families and communities. There will always be some children, young people and families that will need support and we are committed to ensuring we work with them to identify their own solutions, building on their strengths. This approach supports a shift of focus away from short-term crises and towards effective support for children and young people and their families at an earlier stage, with them at the centre of enabling communities rather them being dependent on statutory public services.
We recognise that we engage with children and families in a variety of settings and at different times. Our aspiration is that our practitioners, irrespective of the nature of their formal positions, ensure that the right conversation takes place at the right time with the right people.

Consent is not only a legal requirement under GDPR but also forms a central plank of our early support approach and practice. Early support needs to focus on those adverse experiences and help both the child and the parents deal with these.
We have developed these to help those with a role in the strategic planning or delivery of services for a condition or set of circumstances that are addressed by our guidance. These tools are targeted at those who are responsible for planning and putting the guidance into practice. We are looking for ways to improve our tools and welcome your feedback on tools for clinical guidelines survey and for tools for public health guidance survey.

Supervision and case file audits on their own are useful but cannot fully assess the way workers work, support and build relationships with children, young people and families. Observation of practice provides a complementary alternative, offering an opportunity to gain a picture of the way that workers work with children and families, their behaviours, outlook and approach. Issues to assess at observation will be informed by Appraisal priorities and, in turn, observation findings will be a key source of information for staff appraisals.
