7. Why it is important to get it right
High numbers of children continue to be referred to children’s social care services. These children do not have safeguarding needs but, rather, needs related to a wider range of social issues. Children’s social care responds well to these referrals. Staff in Triage undertake comprehensive checks before passing the work to social workers who complete assessments so that targeted early help can be put in place. It means, however, that many children are being subject to unnecessary statutory assessment processes. This delays the provision of help at a more suitable level; it also reduces the capacity of children’s social care to focus on its core safeguarding functions.
