GIRFEC- WHAT IS IT?<\/h1>\n<\/header>\n
\n

Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC)\u00a0is\u00a0the\u00a0national policy framework\u00a0<\/a>aimed at\u00a0supporting the wellbeing of\u00a0children and young people. The framework embeds the articles of the\u00a0United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC)<\/a>\u00a0into practice and promotes a\u00a0rights-based approach<\/a>.<\/p>\n

GIRFEC\u00a0promotes positive outcomes for children and young people and builds on the delivery of\u00a0universal services<\/a>. The National Practice Model is a common framework for\u00a0all professionals, this\u00a0helps\u00a0when\u00a0assessing and\u00a0responding to the needs of children and young people, ensuring\u00a0all families\u00a0receive the right help at the right time.<\/p>\n

How do we do it?<\/h2>\n

GIRFEC is designed around\u00a0four key principles:<\/a><\/p>\n

A child-focused approach<\/strong>: \u00a0We\u2019ll put the young person and their family at the centre of all decision-making.<\/p>\n

Understanding wellbeing<\/strong>: We\u2019ll look at the child\u2019s wellbeing as a whole to provide appropriate, effective support at the right time.<\/p>\n

A preventative approach<\/strong>: We\u2019ll identify needs early so they don\u2019t grow into problems.<\/p>\n

\n

A joined-up approach<\/strong>: \u00a0We\u2019ll work together to consider what help a child requires. We\u2019ll involve only the services needed to minimise unnecessary interruption in family life.<\/p>\n
