Integrated Working Minimize

South Gloucestershire Integrated Working aims to support agencies working together with children, young people and their families.

There are many different agencies working with children and young people and we aim to improve the way these different people communicate, share information and work together, making sure the needs of all children and young people are met.

Integrated Working helps preventative services to be better co-ordinated and ensure that children, young people and their families are offered support at an earlier stage.

Integrated working is part of the government's strategy to improve services for children and young people. As part of this, children and young people have told the government that five outcomes are key to wellbeing in childhood and later life. These are: Being Healthy, Staying Safe, Enjoying and Achieving, Making a Positive Contribution and Achieving Economic Wellbeing.  Integrated Working works to support children and young people in achieving these outcomes.

ContactPoint Minimize
 

 ContactPoint is to be decommissioned on the 6 August 2010.

Tim Loughton MP, Parliamentary under Secretary of State for Children and Families, has today laid a written ministerial statement informing Parliament that ContactPoint will be shut down on 6 August 2010.

The Department has written today to directors of children’s services and chief executives of ContactPoint national partners. The letter sets out the timetable for shut down and decommissioning, provides guidance for local authorities, National Partners and other partners on the activities they need to undertake, and confirms funding and other support available during this period.

The Government continues to consider the feasibility of a new signposting service for professionals to help them to support and protect our most vulnerable children, particularly when these children move areas or access services in more than one area.
