Supporting anxiety (intervention) ‘tools’<\/strong><\/h1>\n

**New content will be added to this page periodically**<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

These ‘tools’ are provided to assist high quality interventions.\u00a0<\/span> They can be used for single agency assistance (eg. education only) or when there is a multi-agency team around a child\/young person.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Named Person\/Lead Professional and Team around the Child\/Young Person will need to select interventions based on assessment undertaken and informed by the advice given about interventions on the previous pages of this blog\/through training undertaken.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As with all assessment and intervention, involvement of parents\/carers is essential<\/span> to establish the partnership working required to continue to understand the child’s needs (assessment)\u00a0 alongside and informed by the interventions used to supporting the anxiety.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Staged intervention<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Practitioner’s using these interventions should have a strong understanding of the principles of staged intervention.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As you will see from the diagram, the toolkit aims to have interventions (supports) you can use across stages 1-3 of Falkirk Council Staged Intervention Framework<\/a><\/p>\n

Some of these may be interventions you have tried before. Keep thinking of ways to continue to use and improve your use of these.<\/p>\n

Some of the interventions may be new\/unfamiliar to you. Make sure you read the information on these carefully and if you are unsure of using them seek advice first<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Staged approaches to intervention are designed to help us take the right course of action at the right time.<\/p>\n
