Contacting Cumbria Safeguarding Hub

Consider:

Does this child need an immediate child protection response if so continue to report your concern to the Hub. IF NOT:

Could this child be helped by an Early Help Plan?
Can I identify other professionals to contribute to and Early Help Plan?
If so please seek support from your own service advisor or the Early Help Team to work with the family to prevent escalation of need.

Unless your contact requires an immediate child protection response the Hub will ask you about the recent Early Help Plan and Team around the child meeting and will make a decision about the level of vulnerability. This will be either:

Child Protection Response		Requires further investigation		Needs Early Help Plan	OR	Needs no further action, or provision of Professional Advice
		I		I
Will process to District Social Work Team within 2 hours		Process to the MASH		Referrer is recommended to undertake an Early Help plan, with support from the Early Help team if required
		I
		Decision made on response
	/	I	\
CP response required		SW Child in Need Response required		Early Help Response required	OR	Needs no further action, or provision of Professional Advice

We trust you will be part of an agreed outcome in line with the Cumbria Threshold Guidance. Where decision have been made following the Hub episode we will provide feedback on the destination of your contact via email or letter. However you are also responsible for knowing what has happened to your concern, so if you have not had any feedback withing 72 hours you MUST contact the Hub and ask
