Getting it Right for Every Child:
Children get the help they need when they need it.
No more referrals. Responses to meet need are appropriate,
proportionate and timely (APT response) Strengthening the capacity of families and
communities to meet the needs of children
![Page 6: Getting it Right for Every Child Boyd McAdam Scottish Executive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551622a8550346b2068b46ba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Unified approach will strengthen integration agenda and improve delivery and outcomes for all children
Minimise bureaucracy and deliver better outcomes for children Thinking whole child and action to address need: applies to
everyone, incl youth justice, schools, health, child protection. Voluntary sector as well
![Page 7: Getting it Right for Every Child Boyd McAdam Scottish Executive](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022070306/551622a8550346b2068b46ba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Why?
We know the system is not working as it should: referrals, bureaucracy
Children experience many meetings, many reports, confusing action plans
Children have been failed
Panel Members not well served: complaint numbers/ varied approach concern to us.

Update
Healthy response: generally 75 - 95% support for most proposals. But more detail sought Some points not fully understood:
Children’s views different to professionals’
• Responses from agencies were quite agency focused.
Victims in Hearings not supported. Concern over local links.

Issues
How do we make it happen? Lead professional. Concerns over information sharing/how
single record will be achieved Support structure Victims/ offending How is the voluntary sector brought in?
