Child Wellbeing Pathway - Updated guidance for all practitioners working with children and young people
Created: 29/11/2024
News/Events Category: Children and Families
In Fife the Child Wellbeing Pathway (CWP) is the agreed assessment, intervention, and planning pathway for children, young people, families, and carers. It’s used by professionals in all of Fife’s agencies and services to make sure we get it right for everyone.
Make sure you’re familiar with the 2024 refresh of the pathway and associated guidance. It’s designed to help you assess different levels of wellbeing needs and to plan appropriately – in partnership with those you’re supporting and with other colleagues and services.
The revised CWP takes account of:
- Updated Scottish Government GIRFEC practice guidance
- National child protection guidance
- Key policies and legislation including the UNCRC, The Promise, Whole Family Wellbeing
- Feedback from the workforce and learning from case reviews
The CWP reinforces Fife’s universal approach to early intervention and wellbeing assessment, but it shouldn’t be viewed as an incremental process. The guidance clarifies:
- Role of named person and lead professional
- Access to a named person for different groups of children and young people
- Tools to support assessment and analysis for example chronologies, national practice model, risk assessment framework
- Good practice in terms of multi-agency planning and sharing information
- The importance of timely and flexible support rather than relying on a meeting to mobilise support
- Relationship based practice underpinned by a rights-based approach
- Sharing of information with the named person and Third sector organisations
- Lead professional dispute resolution process
Good to know – new terminology! Previously known as a Child Wellbeing Meeting, we now refer to a Team Around the Child (TAC) Meeting. We also focus on a multi-agency response involving a Team Around the Child (TAC) Approach.
Also good to know – the new guidance is shorter, there’s a new flowchart and clear links to key resources.
