Integrated working exemplars
These integrated working exemplars describe a child or young person's ideal journey through a range of children services. They are based on a series of exemplars created by the Department of Health (DH) and the former Department for Education and Skills in 2004/5. Click to download copies of the original exemplars from the DH website.
The new exemplars have been developed to illustrate some of the key themes of Every Child Matters. They were selected to demonstrate how early intervention and integrated working can improve outcomes for children, young people and families. Themes include:
- Involving children and their parents in key decisions
- Providing early identification, diagnosis and intervention
- Delivering flexible, child-centred, holistic care which is integrated between agencies and sensitive to the individual's changing needs
The exemplars highlight the role of the integrated working processes and tools in these ideal journeys, including information sharing, the Common Assessment Framework, the role of the lead professional and ContactPoint. They also identify relevant standards from the ECM Outcomes Framework and the National Service Framework.
