Neglect Matters

A multi-agency guide for professionals working together on behalf of teenagers

The neglect of adolescents involves many aspects of their lives – for example, what happens within their families, in particular as they become young adults; their health and wellbeing; or their education. This means that working with young people who have been neglected inevitably involves more than one agency, and the expertise of their staff. There is a need for both agencies and practitioners to work together. Agencies are required to actively promote integrated working, information sharing, awareness of child protection issues and the links between family support and child protection.
