Family questionnaire

The conference and reviewing service are continuing to look at ways in which we can improve our services to children and families. We have been talking to other local authorities to find out what they do after conferences and would like to get your views on the following proposed change. Instead of you receiving two different documents after a conference at different times, we want to reduce this to one decision document, which will be sent out with the plan. The reason for this is to reduce the amount of paperwork that you receive and ensure that you receive clear decisions about why your children have been made subject to child protection plans or not, or why child protection plans have ended. The decision documents will also include what the other professionals have said and why.

What this will mean is that we will no longer have note takers taking a record of the meeting. The conference chair will record the meeting and this recording will be stored securely for 4 weeks. The purpose of having the recording available for 4 weeks is so that if you disagree with anything that has been recorded in the decision document, this can be reviewed and amended as necessary during this 4-week period. The recording will then be deleted and cannot be accessed again.
