1 Working together to improve outcomes for children and families Needs, thresholds and pathways Guidance for Camden s children s workforce
2 Universal, and Specialist Services: responding to the needs of Camden s children, young people and their families Introduction The purpose of this guide is to support practitioners in universal, targeted and specialist services to make decisions about how best to meet the additional needs of children, young people and their families. The Common Assessment Framework (CAF), Lead Professional and Team Around the Child (TAC) integrated working tools are used to facilitate joined up working across children s services in Camden to achieve improved outcomes. Service thresholds The assessed level of need is essential for deciding service involvement. Universal services have responsibilities for ensuring that children and young people have their basic needs met, such as health care and education. and specialist services can be accessed when children and young people have needs at higher levels. This guide provides details of services that may provide support at each level of need, although particular factors may restrict access, such as: specific service criteria related to the agency s specialist area of work previous interventions geographical location age limits time limited provision, e.g. only available during school term Continuum of Needs Camden has outlined four levels of need to inform decision making about service thresholds. These levels (Universal and Levels 1, 2 and 3) can be used to prioritise and develop a range of support and intervention strategies matched to a child or young person s needs and strengths. The basic needs of the majority of children can be met appropriately by their families and/or a range of universal services. Children with additional needs may require single agency or integrated targeted support. For more complex needs, support from specialist and/or statutory services is likely to be required. 2
3 Service involvement and the continuum of needs Service Level of need Universal (for upper level 1 needs) Universal: no additional needs Babies, children and young people who make good overall progress in all areas of development. Broadly, these children receive relevant universal services, such as health care, education, leisure and play facilities, housing, and voluntary sector services. Level 1: additional needs Babies, children & young people who would benefit from extra help from services to make the best of their life chances (CAF threshold). A single targeted service may be involved, but a team around the child and a Lead Professional may not be required. Level 2: babies, children, and young people with high level additional unmet needs These children and young people require integrated or targeted support, to achieve well-being This refers to the range, depth or significance of the needs. More than one service is likely to become involved, with a team around the child (TAC), and a Lead Professional. Social Work threshold would be met when there are significant indicators at level 2. These children may be eligible for a Child in Need service and may be at risk of moving to a high level of risk if they do not receive early intervention. When social workers are involved they will act as the Lead Professional. Also included at this level are children with significant health or mental health needs, or who are exhibiting serious anti-social behaviours. Level 3: babies, children and young people with complex additional unmet needs Specialist These are children and young people whose needs are complex and enduring and cross many domains and require specialist/statutory integrated support. More than one service is typically involved, with Team Around the Child (TAC), or Child in Need (CIN) review meetings, and a Lead Professional, commonly in a statutory role. Included at level 3 are children experiencing significant harm that requires statutory intervention such as child protection or legal intervention. These children may also need to be accommodated by the local authority, or may be involved in serious youth offending. Also included at this level are disabled children and young people with severe or profound levels of complex health needs and disability. 3
4 UNIVERSAL LEVEL: no additional needs, only requiring universal service support Service: Universal Key universal services that may provide support at this level: Education Children s Centres & Early Years visiting service School nursing GP Police Housing Voluntary & community sector Level of need indicators DEVELOPMENTAL NEEDS Good physical health with age appropriate developmental milestones Speech, language and communication Age-appropriate speech and language development Emotional, Social and Behavioural Development Good mental health and psychological well-being Good quality early attachments, confident in social situations Able to take age appropriate responsibility for own behaviour Responds appropriately to boundaries and constructive guidance Self-concept Age appropriate independent living skills Positive sense of self and abilities Positive relationships with siblings, carers and peers Learning Achieving key stages, with no barriers to learning Good attendance at school/college/training Enjoys and participates in learning activities Planned progression and aspirations beyond statutory education PARENTS & CARERS Care, safety and protection Parents able to provide care for child s needs Protection from danger or significant harm, in the home and elsewhere Emotional warmth, stability and family relationships Parents provide secure and caring parenting Guidance, boundaries and stimulation Parents provide guidance and boundaries to help child develop appropriate values Enables child/young person to experience success Child/young person accesses leisure facilities as appropriate to age and interests FAMILY & ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS Family history, functioning (including wider family) Supportive family relationships Sense of larger familial network Good friendships outside of the family unit Housing, employment and finances Child fully supported financially Good quality, stable housing meeting family needs Community resources and social integration Good social and friendship networks exist Safe and secure environment Access to consistent and positive activities Assessment and pathways No Common Assessment is required. 4

If proceeding with the Common Assessment Framework, the CAF should be completed with the child and family to identify strengths & needs. If their needs cannot be met by the agency completing the assessment, then the CAF can be used to access targeted support. 5
