Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your comments on this post.

Just to say we’re not able to connect people with the Children’s Commissioner, nor is it possible to do so through this forum, but you can contact her office here:

Many thanks,
Mithran

What about legislation around early help assessments and plans? There is no statutory legislation or guidance around these, yet we are expected to write them to the same standard as CIN plans, without social worker oversight or management. Since introducing Early Help following the initial Working Together to Safeguard Children policy, EH has been expected to effectively replace social care thresholds. Often driven by capacity and staff shortages within social care teams.

77 plans were reviewed across 8 LA’s. As of March 2024 there were 105,000 children with a child in need plan. This means that 0.073 % of all of those plans were reviewed. I’m not sure how this can be extrapolated to be a reflective sample of the quality of child in need plans as a whole. One of my bug bears is seeing a plan which says ‘ongoing’ in the timescale but again, that’s just my experience of where practice could be improved and isn’t representative of child in need plan practice in general. Rather than tinkering with more guidance, greater investment in the number of social workers would be welcome to improve capacity and I’m sure we would then see a concurrent improvement in things like quality and measurability of plans and the information within them.

I believe this highlights that social work should be a centralised agency not controlled by local authority budgets and resources. It is easy to bash social workers when they are trying to support children and family’s with little or no resources due to incompetent LAs who reduce children’s services budgets year on year.

Absolutely shambles and disgusting level of care provided in child in need cases in a local authority I know. The so called Acts which are followed and the time frame allowed for cases is more important then the child.
The frequency of change in social care personnel is shockingly high so follow up work is disrupted and child frequently forgotten and left to deal with abuse or lack of minimum care by themselves and then the case is closed because of time allowed.

Do my child enjoy benefit if I have no recourse to government fund on my BRP and my child is CIN

It is true in Social Work that if you stand still long enough things come around again and again. I qualified in 1995 and have seen several themes come and go. Family support, CIN etc. My view is that the quality, focus and outcomes associated with any intervention or assessment (that is in itself an intervention) is dependent upon the approach taken by the SW and multidisciplinary team, which is dependent upon the attitude, training, support, supervision and appropriate challenge to them as professionals. Forms, assessment frameworks, models etc need relationship based practice to underpin them all. A true sense of transparency and partnership with children, families and support networks are absolutely essential.
