Key Messages:
- Consider each side of the triangle and identity what needs to be done

- Don’t just record the information, but analyse it and plan accordingly
- Need for coherence across policies
Note:
The above was developed as part of the preparatory work for an integrated assessment framework (IAF) in Scotland. Similar to those in England and Wales and Northern Ireland. In Scotland we have placed the child at the centre and describe everything from the child’s perspective. This IAF preparatory work was absorbed into Getting it right, although many local authority areas continue to work on IAF development. Moving to developing GIRFEC practice building from IAF work.
