Working together to safeguard children 2023

This revision to the guidance focuses on strengthening multi-agency working across the whole system of help, support and protection for children and their families, keeping a child-centred approach while bringing a whole-family focus, and embedding strong, effective and consistent multi-agency child protection practice.

The update includes:

  • principles for working with parents and carers that centre the importance of building positive, trusting and co-operative relationships to deliver tailored support to families
  • expectations for multi-agency working that apply to all individuals, agencies and organisations working with children and their families, across a range of roles and activities
  • new national multi-agency child protection standards that set out actions, considerations and behaviours for improved child protection practice and better outcomes for children
