Swindon Safeguarding Partnership

Safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and adults with care and support needs, is a shared partnership responsibility.

We know that some families have linked complex difficulties in their lives such as:

• learning disabilities
• physical disabilities
• domestic abuse
• mental health conditions and diagnoses
• substance or alcohol misuse.

Evidence shows that traditional approaches alone cannot make the difference therefore an approach which reduces barriers, promotes accessibility and a collaborative response from services will help both children, young people and adults who need support.

A Think Family approach encourages all professionals in Swindon to see the family as a whole system, share information effectively, build on family strengths, and provide coordinated support that improves outcomes for both children and adults.

We have provided some information and resources for you to raise awareness of this theme.
