Supporting Safeguarding in Salford
This guidance is for anyone who has concerns about a child, including families, workers and members of our community. It is designed to be used as a foundation to enable the correct level of support to be provided, whilst embedding strengths-based, community approaches into practice. Practitioners can offer help and encouragement to families, to find their own solutions and to support families when needed.
The stages of support are based on the principle that services should be provided as soon as possible, at the lowest level to the assessed needs of the child. The aim is to support families and prevent things becoming more difficult, so that families can continue to thrive with support from Universal Services. This guidance identifies four areas of support and demonstrates how they can be met.
