Try the following:
- Reflect on concerns in relation to the child and parent and the effectiveness of the current plan. Is it the right plan? Are they the right outcomes? Are we clear with parents what we expect of them? Have we checked that parents understand what we are saying?
- Discuss your concerns with your line manager, supervisor or safeguarding within your organisation
- Work with the team around the family to produce a multi-agency chronology to identify what needs to happen next. This may include a referral to the Children’s Resources Service (CRS) or a review of a CPP for example.
- Ask for the review of the plan to be brought forward
