Social work support

Disabled Children Service work closely with children social work teams for children who are either subject to Child Protection Plans or Child in Need Plans.

Single assessments may be completed by the Children Advice, Support and Prevention Service (CASP) to see:

• if a child has needs that cannot be met by universal or targeted services and if there are indications that the child has more complex or serious needs
• if there are child protection or safeguarding concerns, and indications that a child is suffering or is likely to suffer significant harm
• if a child becomes, or is at risk of becoming, looked after by the local authority
• if a child is the subject of care proceedings

For all new referrals contact CASP on 0116 454 1004.
