Significant Developments
The Munro Review of Child Protection (May 2011)
Greater emphasis on Partnership Working and a stronger emphasis on the child Less prescription and less bureaucracyReview of Working Together (2013)

Working Together 2013
• Working Together to Safeguard Children
• A guide to inter-agency working to safeguard and promote the welfare of children
![Page 17: What is happening with Safeguarding and Child Protection? Ruth Hester Training 4 Student Success](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55163b14550346a2308b641b/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Philosophy
• WT 2013 puts the child in focus at all stages of the child protection process.
• It creates the expectation that collaborative inter agency work will address the outcomes for the child of any actions taken and services provided, begging the professionals to ask the question:
![Page 18: What is happening with Safeguarding and Child Protection? Ruth Hester Training 4 Student Success](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55163b14550346a2308b641b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
...............
• Is this work going to have a positive impact on the life of this child, if so, what will it be like and what is going to happen, if nothing changes?
• Twice in the document the word ‘rescue’ is used in relation to action that should be taken to safeguard children, who live in homes where there is chronic neglect which illustrates the government’s strategy.
![Page 19: What is happening with Safeguarding and Child Protection? Ruth Hester Training 4 Student Success](https://reader037.vdocuments.us/reader037/viewer/2022103015/55163b14550346a2308b641b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Working Together 2013
• A requirement that designated professional roles should always be explicitly defined in job descriptions and that sufficient time, funding, supervision and support should be provided for them to carry out their role effectively. The guidance is also more specific on staff competencies around safeguarding, with a specific requirement for staff to undertake mandatory child protection induction.

Early Help
• Each LSCB needs to have a published threshold document which outlines the types of early help on offer and the criteria for referral to Children’s Social Care for statutory services and assessments.
