Medway Threshold Criteria for children in need

Most children and young people have a number of basic needs that can be supported through a range of universal services. These services include education, early years, health, housing, youth services, leisure facilities and services provided by voluntary organisations.

This document provides guidance for professionals, to clarify the circumstances in which to refer a child to a specific agency to address an individual need, to carry out an Early Help Intervention Plan (EHIP) or refer to Children’s Services in Medway.

Threshold Guidance 

The MSCP Threshold Guidance sets out three levels of need and provides guidance to help assess a child’s level of need and identify which, if any additional services are required.

Training on the Threshold Guidance is delivered in 2 parts:

Part 1 – Introductory Threshold video for all professionals in Medway

Part 2 – Understanding and Applying Thresholds in Medway Training.
