  1. Hackney Partnership Triage:Two years on Florence Kroll Assistant Director Young Hackney

  2. Background • Lack of coordinated response to Merlin reports prior to Partnership Triage • Responses often ill informed in assessing risk and need because of lack of other information • During the past year, Partnership Triage’s role has broadened to take in more than Police referrals. • Referrals are now accepted from: • Schools • Health Visitors • School Nurses • Children's Centres • Parenting Service

  3. Current situation • Change to staffing profile of Partnership Triage • Researchers carry out multi-agency checks on 9 databases: - Children's Social Care (Capita/Comino) - Education and Children's Centres (EMS and e-start) - Young Hackney (IYSS/UMIS/YOIS) - NHS (Electronic Patient Records/RIO) • Total number of referrals: - Year 1 (July 2009-June 2010) 5467 - Year 2 (July 2010-June 2011) 6054 - Year 3 (July 2011-December 2011) 3607 • Now linked to Children & Young People’s Partnership Panel

  4. Trends * year 3 data for first six months only (July-December 2011)

  5. Children & Young People’s Partnership Panel • Provides management oversight • Resource allocation through high level decision making • Step up and step down to/from Children’s Social Care • Step across from Children's Centres, early CAMHS services and Health Visitors • Identifies, responds to and tracks troubled families • 648 cases have been referred to the panel since April 2010

  6. Benefits • Domestic Violence - pathways and procedures • Missing children - able to provide scrutiny reports • Children Missing Education • Highlighted duplications in work as well as gaps in service provision • Borough wide response to safeguarding, vulnerability and risk of harm

  7. Evaluation Year long evaluation project planned from April 2012 • Analysis of both the Partnership Triage Unit and The Children & Young People’s Partnership Panel • Case studies tracking a child or young person through the system • In-depth interviews with professionals and stakeholders • A sample of high repeat cases and cases resulting in NFA • Review the effectiveness of early intervention and partnership working

  8. Next steps • London wide evaluation • Wealth of information to inform and plan service delivery, in particular for troubled families • Further developments of partnerships with adult services and CAMHS • Single point of contact
