Online Procedures Manual for Children’s Services in Scotland

Keeping the promise using strength based practice to encourage children, young people and families to feel love

Children’s Social Care Procedures

tri.x has been producing web-enabled information, procedures and guidance across the social care sector for over 18 years in England and over the last several months has been working in partnership with Edinburgh Council to produce an online manual for Scottish social care sectors. At tri.x we create trusting positive partnerships and work continuously learn and innovate to meet and respond to your needs.

The National Practice Model

It provides a consistent way for practitioners to work with children, young people and their families to understand the child or young person’s individual growth and development in the context of their rights, unique family circumstances and wider world, exploring strengths, resilience, adversities and vulnerabilities.

The Manual

Is a unique platform to support practitioners in delivering a service that is consistent, child-centred, strength based and respectful.

The content of the manual follows the guidance from The National Practice Model, Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC) and The Promise.

 

Core Benefits

  • Ability to track and evidence compliance through reading tasks
  • Built to meet AA accessibility and Cyber Essentials security standards
  • Easy user access and team access with individual user profiles and improved navigation
  • Team communication enhanced through automated email notifications following chapter updates
  • Enhanced team collaboration through reading tasks that can be managed individually and/or by a local administrator

The new format is much easier to navigate and engage with, and it has really motivated me to ensure it is as accurate as possible. I really enjoy using it, and I know that my SCP Business Manager feels the same way.

Madeline Jones, Learning & Development Officer St. Helens Borough Council

The Adult Care Providers Handbook is an incredibly valuable resource that can be accessed by managers or care workers to provide instant or deep information on any subject in health and social care. It has been incredible to be working with tri.x and with people who are as passionate as us. To meet a team and organisation who are likeminded, at the same level as us in terms of quality, and who also want projects to thrive has been so inspiring.

We had excellent feedback from Ofsted, who said our documents and policy section was outstanding and thank you to the tri.x team for all your work on this.

tri.x’s approach as a company is to be responsive to the customers who use the manuals and ensure it ultimately meets their needs. Foster carers have found the manual to be hugely beneficial and find it to be a useful resource tool to support vulnerable children in their care.

Derby City, Local Authority Children’s Services

It has been an absolute pleasure working in partnership with tri.x to develop our Gateshead Safeguarding Adults Board Multi-Agency Policy and Procedures. The tri.x team demonstrated a wealth of knowledge and experience in Adult Safeguarding and was able to provide us with an impressive foundation that was statutorily compliant and highlighted national guidance and best practices. We were then able to shape our policy and procedures to ensure they truly represented our local values, structures, and operational practices.

Carole Paz-Uceira, Safeguarding Adults Business Manager Gateshead Council

tri.x has been extremely supportive and flexible in terms of meeting our needs and providing a service that is fit for purpose.
