Hi, observations that notice a child's participation, language, communication and behaviour, written records/trackers and information provided by parents - changes to family structure, bereavement, transitions, health are good indicators of children who may need additional support.
Have you gone into detail about the specific information your trackers capture?
There is also guidance on pages 13+ of the
Working together to safeguard children 2015 that states:
Professionals should, in particular, be alert to the potential need for early help for a child who
• is disabled and has specific additional needs
• has special educational needs;
• is a young carer;
• is showing signs of engaging in anti social or criminal behaviour;
• is in a family circumstance presenting challenges for the child such as substance abuse, adult mental health problems and domestic violence
• has returned home to their family from care and/or is showing early signs of abuse and/or neglect
