  4. The Neglect Strategy • The strategy rests on key principles which provide a strategic Framework which underpins the approach to the work. These include: • Shared understanding • Collaboration amongst agencies is vital • Early indicators of neglect are recognised . • Early assessment and intervention is promoted and supported in the first instance • All services must consider/research historical information to inform the present position.

  5. Strategic Objectives The strategic objectives are: • To improve the awareness and understating of neglect, both within and between agencies working in Birmingham and including Adult Services. • To improve the earliest recognition and assessment of children and young people living in neglectful situations before statutory intervention is required, • Developing and sustaining an agreed, early multi agency response to neglect

  6. ‘Making it real’Action Plan Themes The strategy includes an action plan which has 4 work strands these include: • Training • Integrated and Partnership Working • Quality Assurance • Parent and Carer Involvement

  7. Skills Based Training The Modular Training consists of the following -: Day1 :  Discrimination and Oppression – the impact on families and Interviewing Children and Families Day 2:  Child Development – the impact of harm Day3/4:  Understanding Neglect using the graded care profile Day 5:  Assessment – using the Framework for Assessment to make safer decisions and plan interventions

  8. Embedding the Training The method for embedding the training will be similar to the methodology used for the introduction of Early Support in Early Years • Hub and partner Champions will be identified • NSPCC and the Snr Learning & Development officer will support Champions to support colleagues within their organisation to embed the training. • Practitioners who have been trained and are confident using the tool will be identified to support others who are less confident.
