New safeguarding guidance available

Spectrum of Support

The new Spectrum of Support guidance replaces the ‘Thresholds for Services for meeting the needs of children and young people in Warwickshire’ document. The Spectrum of Support guidance is for everyone working with children, young people and their families in Warwickshire. It is important because the work it describes is at the heart of our arrangements to ensure that children, young people and families get the right support, advice and services at the right time.

This guidance provides a framework for professionals who are working with children, young people and families, and aims to help identify circumstances when children may need additional support to achieve their potential.

The Spectrum of Support provides information on the levels of children’s needs and gives examples of some of the factors that may indicate when a child or young person needs additional support or protection.
