I am doing a home learning course in social work with children and families.
So far it has gone pretty well, but am now asking for a bit of help.

As thi is home study and I do not work in the field I don't have experience, just course materials.
I need to write an example plan that I would work out with family members and other workers to ensure the safety of a child on the child protection register.

I was hoping someone would be able to help me who has been on either side of this.

I just need an outline of who was involved, what their job was, how often you had contact with them etc

Thanks for your time

(I did post in chat, but there's more traffic here)

Sounds like you've got it all in hand now Silver

Bimbo - Didn't mean to sound patronising, no offence intended.

SilveryMoon · 01/06/2011 17:49

Not really much more info than that!!
Because the question didn't state to use the given situation, I was going to waffle on for 1132 pages on possible outcomes! not really, I was going to do a basic plan and end on the first review.
I might call the tutor to find out if she can tell me exactly what they are looking for

silvery - Meetings are much more frequent with children on a CPP, every 4 weeks I think, and these also have to have Core Group Meetings in addition to Child Protection Plan Review meetings, again every 4 weeks.

On the other hand, some of the TAC meetings (Team Around the Child) happen every 3 months so.

In our authority they don't automatically start everything with a CAF diablo. We all do things slightly differently don't we?

SilveryMoon · 01/06/2011 17:51

Thank you all.
I've been racing through this unit as a bit behind on where I wanted to be by now, so think I also need to sit down and go through all the material again too.

Thanks again for help Smile

(I did ask MN to remove it, so could go at any time.....)

How is this AIBU????

SilveryMoon · 01/06/2011 19:38

I stated in my OP that I had posted in chat but there is more traffic here.

I said earlier that I asked for this thread to be removed as I didn't want anyone to read my OP and get the wrong idea (as a few did).
I have since received some wonderful help and asked MN to keep it.
If anybody reading this is not happy with the thread, then please feel free to report it yourself, I have no problem with that.

Thanks again to those of you who posted helpfully in response

People often post stuff in AIBU they want to draw attention to. Doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Example scenario(made up): Mother is victim domestic violence in an on/off relationship with father of baby. Young baby, 4 weeks old.
Conference called following further physical assault when police attended.
Invited
Chair/SW/SW Team Leader/Health Visitor/GP/Police/parents/Safeguarding nurse/possibly childs grandparents.
Plan

  1. SW visits at least fortnightly to monitor and support (announced and unannounced visits) 2)Referral to local DV outreach 3)HV contact fortnightly to alternate with SW (so baby is seen weekly)
  2. Referral to local Surestart for support to access services 5)Police marker on home address
  3. Agreement for mum not to allow father of baby unsupervised access and inform SW if resumes relationship
  4. Father of baby to work with DV team perpetrators programme
  5. Core groups monthly. CG= HV/SW/Parents/poss grandparents First review in 3 months

Too many variables to plan fully. Much more info available at conference.

SilveryMoon · 02/06/2011 06:56

Brevity Thank you for that Smile
That's great.
I wasn't sure of exactly what they were looking for for this, whether I needed to really waffle on and on and on, but that scenario you've given is so simple but has everything there.
Family members, other organisations and workers and is very clear as to what everyone will be doing.
Can I use it for my paper?

Brevity · 02/06/2011 18:18

Hello, it's completely made up, so will be fine to use. You would need to flesh it out a bit as conferences not usually called if it was a one off and the parents have separated.
Good luck with your assignment Smile

SilveryMoon · 02/06/2011 19:08

Thanks Brevity You're a star. Smile

And thanks to everyone else Smile
