CSSW Sample Clauses

CSSW. CSSW provides interventions based on the identified needs of the child, what support parents need to improve parenting capacity and any interventions needed to improve family functioning. Levels of intervention are: Child in need: children who need social work support and services to help reach or maintain a reasonable standard of development Child protection: where children are at risk of suffering significant harm due to neglect or abuse Looked after child: where a child cannot remain living at home and needs alternative accommodation, either on a voluntary basis or via a court order. All children and families will have an allocated social worker and a child in need, child protection or care plan, detailing interventions and services to be provided. All plans are reviewed at least 6 monthly at specially convened meetings involving parents, children and the professional network. Where the child is subject to a child protection plan, further core group meetings will take place to help develop, implement and monitor the plan in between case conferences. For some young people, substance misuse can be indicative of or linked to other safeguarding issues, for example child sexual exploitation or criminal exploitation on the “county lines” model. CSSW recognises that many safeguarding risks for young people come from the community rather than the home and to tackle this, the division has developed a holistic approach for working with vulnerable adolescents. Whenever a young person presents to CSSW with substance misuse issues, social workers and workers in the FWD team will explore whether any form of exploitation is a driver of their substance misuse and work to keep the young person safe from exploitation as part of the work to reduce substance misuse.
