The updated version has an illustrated guide, an animated video and details of a toolkit for children, young people and their families, and practitioners working with them.
This is so practitioners can share and use with children, young people and their families:
- Working together to safeguard children: an illustrated guide for children, young people and their families
- the short accompanying animated video
- a toolkit of resources
All children should be helped, supported and protected when things are difficult. The illustrated guide, animated video and toolkit explain to children, young people and their families how individuals, organisations and agencies work together to help, support and protect them.
These materials were co-produced with children and young people, along with the Department for Education’s Social Care Advisory Board, facilitated by the National Children’s Bureau.
Practitioners who would like to use the toolkit can email workingtogether.statutoryguidance@education.gov.uk to request this.
