Referrals to children's social care which resulted in no further action (number) (8908) Metric type
- Help text
- This is the number of referrals to children's social care which result in no further action.
A referral is defined as a request for services to be provided by children's social care and is in respect of a child who is currently not assessed to be in need. A referral may result in an initial assessment of the child's needs, the provision of information or advice, referral to another agency or no further action. New information relating to children who are already assessed to be a child in need is not counted as a referral.
On receipt of a referral the local authority has one working day to decide what further work needs to be done. If more investigation is needed then an initial assessment will be carried out. However, it may be that the referral can be resolved by providing some information, or referring to another agency or in some cases, no further action at all is needed. Taken from Characteristics of Children in need, table C1.
