If, like me, you get frustrated by a photocopy falling out of a ringbinder, here is a bound copy for your bookshelf.Nothing is more important than children's welfare. Children who need help and protection deserve high quality and effective support as soon as a need is identified.We want a system that responds to the needs and interests of children and families and not the other way around. In such a system, practitioners will be clear about what is required of them individually, and how they need to work together in partnership with others.
