The updated visual to represent the recognition of practice, policy and local services
1. It recognises that the child is at the centre of all of our practice and decision making.
2. The first circle demonstrates how children and families are wrapped around via their networks, communities and neighbours, which offer consistent support.
3. The 3rd circle visualises our practice model – which is ‘right person, right time’ and the process which will support this in order for the right service to step in and step out when appropriate
