Multi-Agency Working

It is an important part of a practitioner’s job to observe and assess children in order to establish where a child is at with regards to their development, health and well being and if they require extra support. The factors that need to be taken into account when assessing development are:

The Children and Young Peoples Board in Birmingham comprises of different partner agencies and organisations that each have a duty to cooperate under the Children’s Act 2004 in strategic planning, service developments and consideration of emerging issues around children and young people.

study phase of the research (see Table 1 for a summarised description of each service). This involved in-depth collection of qualitative data in each service (three services in England, one in Wales, one in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland). Each multi-agency service was composed of senior managers, project managers and direct care and support staff from a range of disciplines and backgrounds. The six services were chosen from a larger sample of 26 from which basic quantitative and qualitative data had been collected. Ensuring that each country in the UK was represented, the six service which took part in the case-study part of the research were chosen because they had the highest number of key components of multiagency working in place, e.g. a defined structure or model which set out how multi-agency working would operate; a degree of resource sharing in terms of staff time and/or money to provide services; multi-agency steering or management groups, etc. (see Watson et al. 2002 for a discussion of these components). In effect, we wanted to focus on six services which, after a preliminary analysis, seemed to be delivering the most developed and structured, family-focused, multi-agency service. Each of the six services had some shared and some different characteristics. For example, funding arrangements differed between services as did eligibility criteria and systems for

This study is intended to document my observation of a child between the ages of 2-5. The small child I observed is a 4 years old male. Family arrangements consist of the mother being the primary caregiver of her son. Since the child is not old enough to consent to my amateur study, I have received permission from the mother and father. The method used in this clinical report is a naturistic observation in which I went to the family’s household where I recorded his behavior for an hour.
