Family Strengths and Needs Toolkit
A toolkit to assist with the identification of neglect of a child or young person
To complement the Southwest Child Protection Procedures (SWCCP), the Family Strengths and Needs Toolkit has been designed to assist professionals in identifying and assessing children and young people who are at risk of and experiencing neglect.
The Toolkit should be used in conjunction with the Practitioner Guidance, when professionals are concerned that the quality of care of a child/young person they are working with suggests that their needs are being neglected.
