Decision details

To consider the report.

Decision

That the implementation of a pilot project in Chesil (Weymouth & Portland) for the Safeguarding Families Together new model, be approved.

Reason for the decision

As part of the Delivering Locally priority within our Children Young People and Families plan 2020-2023, we committed to ‘embed whole family approaches, with a particular focus on addressing the needs of children living with parental substance use, mental ill-health or domestic abuse’. The evidence base of this whole family approach is strong, and this project is part of our wider Transformation Programme within the Children Service’s Directorate.
