Birmingham is changing the way services are delivered to children, young people and their families, in partnership
with health, the police, and the voluntary sectors. Integrated Access Teams will provide a single point of contact for
professionals and members of the public who want to seek support or raise concerns about a child. Integrated Access
Teams will provide an accessible and responsive service, screening assessments to determine appropriate action,
advice about support available and referrals to the most appropriate services. The referral should be made to the
Integrated Access Team in the area where the child lives.
Please check the map carefully as some areas traditionally in
‘South’ are now in ‘East’.
Once the referral has been accepted, there are 4 possible outcomes:
1. A referral to the Children’s Social Care First Response Team
2. A referral to Integrated Family Support Teams who will bring
together professionals from a range of children’s services.
They will work together in a coordinated way to meet the
needs of the child and the family where additional support is
required.
3. Advise that a Common Assessment Framework needs to be
undertaken within a universal setting
4. Advice and signposting to universal settings.
Birmingham is changing the way services are delivered - IMPORTANT CHANGES!
