| Summary: | This form aims to provide a brief overview of a child's circumstances to help identify potential needs or concerns in order to inform the level of intervention. |
Description:
The form is designed to briefly screen a child's circumstances with a view to making a decision on the outcome, whether this is with reference to the disposal, the need for a further assessment or level of intervention/support to be offered, either conditionally or voluntarily.
The screening tool is completed at the initial stage, prior to a full AssetPlus assessment. Where a voluntary intervention is accepted, a second Youth Caution or Conditional Caution is provided, the AssetPlus assessment is then completed.
Implementing the Practice:
- The form is completed by the allocated Case Manager
- The Case Manager presents the infomation gathered to a panel (which includes an Operational Manager, Early Help, Greater Manchester Police and the Victim Liaison Officer), where the screening is signed off and a plan of support agreed
