Early intervention is essential to achieve the best possible outcome for the child. However, multi-agency working is important to. When all the professionals involved with the child share information and co-operate with each other, lives can be improved and even saved. The case of Baby P is an example of multi-agencies not working together properly, early intervention and working together will help to prevent more unnecessary deaths.
Early years practitioners can provide information for local services which may be useful to disadvantaged or vulnerable families, we can work together with social workers, health professionals and even DWP, by helping to complete forms for additional benefits that their family may be entitled too.
The best interest of the child is always the priority, policies and guidance must be followed when a referral is being made to an outside agency. Working together for the benefit of the child.
Early intervention is also at the heart of the governments national strategy on child poverty. They hope to provide support and de-stigmatise services, provide more health visitors for Sure Start Children's Centres and are providing an Early Intervention Grant for local authorities to invest in addressing their local needs.
The impact of all these measures for early intervention, will hopefully lead to a more stable society with less children in workless homes. Parents will be able to work and support their children, providing better homes, healthier food and a stable home life environment. Children will appreciate their education and strive to achieve to their full potential. They will be safer, healthier and hopefully happier. They will have access to facilities to improve their health and well-being, as well as their physical, social and emotional development. Services will be in place to provide support to families in need, helping families stay together and become more stable.
