The Use of Whole Family Assessment to Identify the Needs of Families with Multiple Problems

Résumé du livre

"The paper provides an overview of the approaches to assessment taken by the Local Authorities (LAs) involved, along with a more detailed exploration of the whole family assessment processes developed by individual areas. It also explores some of the positive outcomes linked to taking a family focused approach. Each local authority has developed their own approach to reforming support for families at risk. A key aim of this work was to bring together tailored services and systems reform to ensure that families with complex needs receive coordinated, family focused packages of support. A key component of the work is bringing together adult and children's services to work more effectively together."--Executive summary.
