Multi Agency Working at RISE
RISE strives for integration between education, health and care for joint outcomes. Multi-agency working is an effective way of supporting children and families with additional needs and helping to secure real improvements in their life outcomes. It is also paramount to safeguard young people. We teach the young people to advocate for themselves and ensure that their voices are integral to every decision taken.
RISE supports collaborative working by:
• Ensuring the participation of children and young people and parents in decision making at individual and strategic levels though robust Assess-Plan-Do-Review meetings 6 times throughout the year and young person lead annual reviews.
• Publication of a ‘local offer’ of support for children and young people with SEND to guide all to all the services that are available for children and young people, support families to access the services and maintain links with them.
• Ensuring the EHC plan is supported by annual review meetings with outcomes agreed by all stakeholders.
• Working with new schools, colleges, Local authorities to support successful transition to adulthood.
• Attending Care meetings for At risk children, Children in need and Looked after children.
