Help Shape Plymouth's Building Support for Families: Continuum of Need guidance for all who work with Children and Families

Plymouth Safeguarding Children Partnership Consultation Events

Building Support for Families: Continuum of Need guidance for all who work with Children and Families in Plymouth

The Plymouth Building Support document is essential guidance for everyone who works with children and their families. It outlines how local practitioners work together to safeguard and promote the welfare of all children across Plymouth. This is intended to help practitioners identify the right help for children and families at the earliest opportunity, from the service or professional who knows them best.

The document has been developed in line with the Families First Partnership Guidance (DfE March 2025) and Working Together 2026. The document has been developed with partner agency professionals, who are committed to strong multi-agency working to ensure we are achieving the best for all children across Plymouth.
