Toolkit for reaching priority and excluded children Toolkit for reaching priority and excluded children from Together for Children
The toolkit launched by Together for Children provides practical advice and guidance for local authorities. The toolkit highlights the importance of understanding and analysing the local situation, consulting widely, and the need to treat children, their parents and carers as individuals rather than make assumptions based on their membership of certain groups.
Checklists provide questions and discussion points for local authorities, children's centre and partner organisations, covering groups such as teenage parents, fathers, minority and ethic families, disabled children and parents, partners and families of prisoners, parents with drug or alcohol problems and the homeless and families in temporary accommodation.
