Thresholds Guidance
The Right Help, Right Time Levels of Need framework has been developed by the HSCP to support practitioners at all levels working in statutory, public, voluntary and independent sectors in Herefordshire.
The document is intended to enable practitioners:
- to make decisions about how best to respond to the needs of children and young people
and families; - to give families access to the right help at the right time;
- to provide children and families with access to the most appropriate services for their needs
Putting the views, wishes and experiences of families at the heart of everything we do in Herefordshire…
Herefordshire Safeguarding Children Partnership (HSCP) is undertaking a consultation with parents and carers to find their views on levels of need thresholds Right Help Right Time. This is part of HSCP work to implement Working Together 2023.
What the events are about
New government guidance called Working Together 2023 means that this is a great time to look carefully at how the Council, the police, health and schools help and protect children.
The events will be looking at what type help is needed in what circumstances – making children get the right help at the right time. By using case studies we would like to find out from people what sort of help would be best for children. This includes getting feedback on whether for example a family should have a social worker or a family support worker. Or whether children need protection from harm or support and guidance to them and their parents. This is so that we use this feedback to check and change how we help children and families.
We want to make sure we are getting it right and hearing from families about how we can improve. We need to hear the views of our community to do this.
