Hi, a warm welcome to silkysteps. Maybe research the barriers below alongside your knowledge & experience of how things happen within your setting.
Common barriers include:
Poor communication between partners
Lack of information-sharing between partners
Lack of co-ordination between different service providers
Inaccurate or inconsistant record keeping
Ineffective policies and procedures
Lack of understanding about the roles or involvement of different partners
Lack of evaluation and no review process of service provision
Sourced from collins lv 3 handbook pg, 272
Different agencies that could be involved with a setting as partners are health services eg. GP, health visitor, midwives, SLT, hospital & health care staff. Education services, mental health services, social services, youth services - careers advisors, youth & play workers, voluntary organisations - NSPCC, Gingerbread
When you consider how your setting could work in partnership with any one or combination of these providers in order to support your children, young people and famillies, the refferal process and information sharing has a need to be effective - information & differing types of reports are accurate, legible, concise, and meet legal requirements ( CYP 3.6 2.3)
Reports can take the form of accident & incident, CAF & other assessment reports, daily reports eg. typesthat report progress for parents, carers and project reports eg. for building work or development.
