Government publishes its final version of Working Together
The revised guidance, Working Together To Safeguard Children (2013), has been launched today and condenses around 700 pages of guidance into 95 pages.
Changes include removing the requirement to have a separate initial and core assessment of children in need. The 10-day target to complete initial assessments is also removed; however the 45 working days target for an assessment to conclude has been retained. The government has said this target will be monitored and could be removed at a later date.
