The guidance document below states that if additional support is required for the child or young person and this can be provided by the agency that has identified the wellbeing need, a single agency child’s plan can be initiated.
However, a child’s plan may be an outcome where it is agreed an additional service(s) will become involved, or it may be an agreed outcome of a Team Around the Child (TAC) meeting.
The child’s plan should record the move from single to multi-agency working and co-ordinate and support additional or more intensive planning for the child or young person. Therefore the child’s plan format can be used by single agencies as well as a plan that is developed as a result of a TAC meeting and requires a lead professional.
