When engagement is challenging or not working

Children and an adult playing with blocks

This multi-agency guidance has been developed to support all those working with children, young people and adults who are parents/carers within Southampton. It aims to promote the welfare of children through effective partnership working with families. The guidance builds on research and evidence-based practice which is known to work in effectively engaging families. The guidance provides support around recognising, understanding and responding to situations where families do not engage with professionals.
