Safeguard / Multi-Agency Working

Who is involved, how to reach them, and when it is next reviewed.

Record the plan for the situation: the agencies involved, the people to reach and the review date, with actions referenced where they live, on the DSL Action Board.

From concern to DSL-led action

The plan and the people around it

Multi-agency work depends on knowing who is involved and how to reach them. The plan is where that is recorded.

  1. 01

    Create the plan

    Start the plan for the situation and its lifecycle, from draft onwards.

  2. 02

    Record the agencies and contacts

    The agencies involved and the people to reach sit on the plan, drawn from the agency directory.

  3. 03

    Review, and close when right

    The plan carries its review date, overdue when it is overdue, and closes when a person decides the work is done.

Evidence in context

Who, from where, and until when

The plan holds the agencies, the contacts and the review; the actions stay on the DSL Action Board, referenced through the communication log, which is where the plan itself points.

  • Plans with lifecycle states from draft onwards
  • Agencies and contacts from the directory
  • Review dates on the plan, with overdue visible

What changes when Multi-Agency Working is connected

The value of Multi-Agency Working is the route from current evidence to an accountable next step, with the people and context around the work kept visible.
