Multi-agency threshold guidance
The multi-agency threshold guidance supports professionals and agencies who are worried about a child or young person to identify and assess the most appropriate action to take to ensure that families receive the right support at the right time, in the most effective way.
Quality assurance
Achieving for Children is committed to providing the very best services to children and their families and by doing so, increasing the life chances of the children so that they can live healthier, happier and safer lives. All practitioners and managers are responsible for improving outcomes for children, young people and their families through effective assessment, care planning and review. We measure this in a number of ways through audits, workshops, performance data and getting feedback from children, young people and their families who use our services across Achieving for Children. This service is managed by the Head of Practice Learning who works closely with the Quality Assurance and Improvement Manager.
