35. Impact of the Child’s Lived Experience Helen Blackman- Director of CIS – January 2019 Tracey Nurse- Head of Social work Escalation –Share your worries- make a difference

36. Use your voice- escalation is a conversation where you make a difference • If you have worries that the child’s needs are not being addressed or risks are not identified or well understood – what should you do ? • If you are worried that something is wrong you must do something. This is not conflict it is helping everyone connect their information. Provide your evidence, challenge and energy • Escalating your concerns , firstly to the person who is the lead professional, then their manager and ultimately a senior manager and your own manager too, helps highlight the issue and should lead to reflection • Is this an opportunity for you to learn more, to be helped to protect this child more • You are the only person some of these children have in their whole life who will see them, fight for them, care for them. Do a good job, work together, be open, use your voice effectively
