What happens next?

Children's Services must record the outcome of the assessment in a document.

This document will explain how the recommended actions will help meet the needs found in the assessment. A copy of the assessment will be provided to the child (where age appropriate) and parent/carer.

An assessment will conclude the following;

• There are no needs to be met
• A more comprehensive assessment is required, which may include signposting to services who will complete a more specialist assessment
• Needs can be met through the provision of information, advice or assistance
• Needs can be met through the provision of preventative services
• Needs can only be met through a care and support plan
• Parent does not consent to any intervention
