Abstract: |
The paper argues that, in the midst of the current policy and economic challenges, schools and their partners need to continue to think widely about their joint role in supporting vulnerable children. They must continue to build better support to prevent vulnerable families from developing complex problems, as well as ensure that those families who have the most complex problems get sufficiently intensive support to be really helped. By working together, local agencies may be better able to meet needs quickly, avoid family breakdowns, and reduce the number of children and families being referred on to specialist agencies. This may give specialist early intervention services the chance to target those with the most complex needs and work with them intensively enough to address deep-seated problems. The alternative is a vicious cycle of separate services addressing needs inadequately and too late, and a failure of the whole system to arrest increasing demands on safeguarding, mental health and substitute care services. |
