Early Intervention and prevention. The Partnership is committed to effective early intervention; this means working together so that families review the help they need so that their problems and concerns are effectively addressed early in the life of the child and early in the development of issues so that these do not escalate.

Early Intervention and prevention. We intend to intervene at the earliest stage possible to prevent people from entering the criminal justice system or becoming victims of crime. This will be founded on work across the Community Planning Partnership including early years. We will seek to work with offenders to prevent them re-offending and look to further develop alternatives to prosecution. Some specific actions we will progress include: • Taking a co-ordinated cross-agency approach to vulnerable adults including women offenders. This includes better matching of services & resources to need, particularly those highlighted through Vulnerable Person Reports; • Taking a co-ordinated approach to vulnerable children and children who are at risk of becoming involved in offending or have started to offend; • Supporting addiction recovery; • Identifying the cost of the top 10 recurring offenders or service users with a view to designing proactive interventions which will lead to better outcomes; • Improving through and after care for looked after children and for offenders in line with early and effective intervention and the whole systems approach; and • Improving our approach on tackling domestic abuse, particularly those involving drug and/or alcohol issues. We are aware that there are some additional issues we need to improve on. These include: • Developing and improving services in support of women offenders; • Taking a much more comprehensive and integrated approach to support vulnerable adults; • Further developing the information we use to resource the Tasking & Co- ordination process giving priority to Domestic Abuse; and • Looking at additional services which can support offenders, e.g. Community Learning & Development.

Early Intervention and prevention. The CPP has long acknowledged that we need to move away from 'picking up the pieces' once something has happened and become better at early identification of individuals who are at risk, and take steps to address that risk. The CPP is in a strong position to develop on this agenda. The CPP Prevention Plan is now firmly in place and processes have been developed to monitor and measure progress, through the partnership’s performance management system, Covalent. We can already begin to see early indication of the positive impact of prevention and early intervention. Our preventative activity has been showcased at several national CPP events and the CPP audit report confirms that prevention and early intervention are strong features of many partnership initiatives. Prevention and early action will be explored further in a workshop at the West Lothian CPP Conference in August 2015. The Early Years Collaborative (EYC) is a multi-agency improvement programme to support the transformation of early years. West Lothian participation in the EYC has targeted smoking cessation in pregnant women, reducing child poverty, improving the transition experience of children moving from nursery to primary school, improving attachment through evidence based interventions and the implementation of systematic screening for domestic and sexual violence. Three workstreams have been set up with leads across NHS and education services. Practitioners across NHS, council and voluntary sectors are linked together to test out innovative changes in practice and are now looking at how these changes can be tested and implemented across a broader scale. The EYC, Family Nurse Partnership and Psychology of Parenting Project are working together providing a whole population approach.
