Sefton Safeguarding Children Partnership

Level of Need Guidance (Revised 2024)

WELCOME to Sefton's Level of Need Guidance (Revised 2024)

The Level of Need Guidance has been updated following the launch of Sefton's 'Conversational Model' aimed at organisations and agencies who wish to refer a child in need of support or protection to Children's Social Care.

The guidance is intended to assist the children's workforce and all those who come into contact with children in Sefton to respond appropriately to concerns and make timely decisions about how to respond to the needs of the child/ren and families they are working with.
