The Children and Families First teams work with families where children have been assessed to be children in need or at risk of harm. Assessments and plans are reviewed on a regular basis to prevent drift and to ensure the child's journey progresses in a timely way. The team work closely with families and a range of other agencies to support children who are subject to child in need and child protection plans and in some cases children at the early stages of being looked after . The teams use a range of interventions within our restorative practice framework to address and reduce risk.

For example, I last year was able to go crabbing and it was the family's idea and literally I was like, 'What is crabbing?' And they were like, 'We'll show you And we went down to one of the beaches and, yeah, were literally collecting crabs. It was so fascinating." About our team: Safeguarding is everyone's business and whilst the initial assessment of risk takes place in the assessment service, the Children and Families First teams are here for those families where longer-term intervention at level 4 is required to reduce risk and achieve positive change. The Children and Families First teams work with families where children have been assessed to be children in need or at risk of harm. Assessments and plans are reviewed on a regular basis to prevent drift and to ensure the child's journey progresses in a timely way. The team work closely with families and a range of other agencies to support children who are subject to child in need and child protection plans and in some cases children at the early stages of being looked after . The teams use a range of interventions within our restorative practice framework to address and reduce risk. Key areas for consideration in the teams are co-production, safety planning, strong relationships with children, early permanence planning and legal interventions in circumstances where children are not considered safe in their family.
