Child in Need
A child in need is a young person who is receiving a service from Social Services. This may involve Social Services providing children and their carers with advice, guidance or information about statutory or non-statutory services, to enable the child’s full potential to be maximised.
Many children/young people move in and out of care or accommodation, some may be on the child protection register and some may be on the disability register. All these children/young people will need an assessment of their needs by one or more support agencies (Education, Health, Social Services, Voluntary Services etc). All these children/young people would be known as Children in Need.
