Children & Young People's Services - Resource Guide for Professionals

The Hackney Child Wellbeing Framework focuses upon child and family need, not thresholds for services. It does, however, attempt to give an indication of what might be an appropriate approach to responding to child and family need by defining three levels:

• Universal - a response by universal services, often working individually
• Universal and Universal Partnership Plus - a response by universal services working together in universal settings and sometimes bringing additional targeted resources into a multi-agency partnership plan to both assess and address concerns
• Complex/high risk - a response that requires high-level specialist services, often governed by statutory frameworks, to take the lead role
