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.
