Strengths and Needs

When a child or family is identified as benefiting from early help, a whole family, multi-agency Strengths & Needs form should be completed. This can be completed by:

• the professional identifying the need of the family
• by any professional who knows/has a relationship with the family or is part of a network that supports the child/family
• a professional identified by the family as the most appropriate person to support them with the Strengths & Needs conversation

Using the following:

• Strengths and Needs
• Strengths & Needs Guide – Prompts to support conversations
• Young Carers Form – to help identify children who are young carers
