Child Protection
What will happen to the family?
Once enquiries have been completed one or more of the following might happen:
- No further action
- Support service offered to the family
- Referral to another agency for a service
- Referral to appropriate legal system
Where Child Protection concerns are identified:
An inter agency meeting will be held to decide the best way to protect the child,
this will include people who have a knowledge of the child and family e.g. health
visitor, police, teacher, social worker and parents/carers. In a small number of
cases, immediate, emergency action may be necessary to protect the child.
