New Child Wellbeing Pathway Guidance Published
Created: 03/05/2024
News/Events Category: Children and Families
The Child Wellbeing Pathway (CWP) outlines the practice and process Fife Children’s Services Partnership follows to ensure wellbeing needs and concerns are addressed to get it right for all children and young people. The Getting It Right in Fife Framework (GIRIFF), updated in May 2023 provides the overarching framework which underpins practice for everyone in Fife.
The GIRIFF is based on the concept of a continuum of need; core principles and collaborative practice to address wellbeing needs and concerns early and proportionately. The framework confirms the core practice principles adopted by the partnership; roles and responsibilities of a named person and lead professional; key changes within the new national GIRFEC guidance and illustrates the range of services across the continuum of need which are accessible in Fife. It is important that everyone is familiar with the contents of the GIRIFF which provides the context to the Child Wellbeing Pathway as the key process in Fife to deliver Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC).
The refresh of the Child Wellbeing Pathway takes account of the updated Scottish Government GIRFEC practice guidance; national Child Protection guidance; key policies and legislation such as the UNCRC, The Promise, Whole Family Wellbeing, feedback from the workforce and learning from case reviews in Fife.
The guidance is designed to support practitioners to work in partnership with children/young people, their families/carers, and other services. It also supports the development of practice in relation to carrying out effective single and multi-agency assessments of wellbeing to inform effective interventions through co-ordinated planning. The CWP guidance has been shortened and the flow chart updated, also several embedded links are within the guidance which should be considered to effectively implement this key process for the benefit of Children; Young People; Families; and Carers (C&YPFC) in Fife.
Key aims of this guidance are to:
- Provide practitioners with a clear pathway that helps them to assess and identify wellbeing needs and concerns and to plan appropriately
- Clarify roles and responsibilities of all practitioners working with families to address wellbeing needs and concerns
- Highlight best practice principles and the application of national practice tools for practitioners assessing wellbeing needs and concerns
- Support practitioners in understanding how to gather and share information that is relevant to the assessment of wellbeing and coordination of support as part of a child’s plan
- Offer guidance on how to work in partnership with all stakeholders including Children & Young People, Families and Carers
- Support practitioners to make informed judgements about when identified needs and risks may require additional or intensive support and processes to follow to ensure effective planning with the child or young person at the centre
