Think Family. To ensure that all agencies ‘think family’ so that children and adults receive coordinated services that assess and address the needs of the whole family
Think Family. 3.14.1. It is imperative that when safeguarding concerns are identified for adults or children, appropriate consideration is given to whether anyone else may be at risk. This could include other children, young people or adults that live in the same property. It may be those who visit the property or have contact with the alleged source of risk in other settings or locations.
3.14.2. Think Family is a principle to assist professionals to consider all the diversity of different family situations, and to consider whether there are additional safeguarding duties that need to be considered. Where it is identified that a child or young person may be at risk, this will be discussed with children’s social care colleagues. Where other adults with care and support needs are identified, there will be consideration of duties under the Care Act (2014) by adult social care.
