This strategy aims to highlight Wiltshire’s approach to early intervention and to provide guiding principles and priorities for all members of the LSCB and Children’s Trust to promote:
• Good identification of risk and need, and resilience in children and their families;
• Access to timely, quality early help services;
• Sharing of information about vulnerable children and families across different services and agencies.
Early intervention aims to influence and support parents, children and young people to develop their skills and resilience to manage the challenges that they may be faced with at key turning points/transitions in their lives. It is appropriate across all ages.Views are sought on this consultation draft – to be submitted by Wednesday 27th February 2013.

Draft report: Wiltshire Hidden Harm Working Protocol.
Closing Date: 16th November 2012
Description: The Wiltshire Hidden Harm Working Protocol has been produced on behalf of the Local Safeguarding Children’s Board and the Wiltshire Community Safety Partnership to enhance excellence in practice and guidance for frontline practitioners who support and promote the welfare of children, parents and families with problematic substance misuse. This protocol recognises that many adults with problematic substance use are able to parent their children well. This is often made possible by supportive networks of family, friends and professionals. However, in some cases the children may be at risk of harm including physical, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect. This protocol aims to encourage joint working between those providing adult services and those providing children and family services, to ensure that the welfare of children and young people is safeguarded and promoted, and that the likelihood of harm is reduced. The protocol reflects statutory child protection guidance and should be read in conjunction with the Local Safeguarding Child Protection Board’s Policies and Procedures.
