Abstract

The Family Safeguarding Plus Model (FSPM) was developed by Oxfordshire County Council and designed to improve the main statutory children's social care services.

The Family Safeguarding Plus Model is designed to provide rapid, proactive support and intervention to children and their families. It is delivered by small multiagency teams who are trained in a range of highly effective interventions to address the complexity of the impact of the trio of vulnerabilities on children; reduce the number of children subject to statutory intervention and enable children to be cared for safely and thrive within their own families.

Deployment of the Family Safeguarding Plus Model, with its multi-disciplinary joint children's and adult team specialists, is required to enhance the support to adults and children for statutory children's social care work and who are victims of and/or low risk perpetrators of Domestic Abuse.

The Council is recommissioning the existing model with a similar Specification with the clear definition that this service focuses on low-risk perpetrators and med-high risk perpetrators supported by statutory services: Police and Crime Commissioner through the DRIVE program (Thames Valley Police) and Probation.
