4.1. What information should you provide?
What information should you provide?
1. Relevant background information about the child and any other concerns you may have had previously about the child.
2. Personal details of the child, parents, family members and carers. This will include full names, date of birth, contact numbers and addresses.
3. Provide knowledge of the child's ethnic origin, religion or cultural background if you are aware of it (it may help in dealing with the matter more efficiently if there is a need for an interpreter etc).
4. The reasons for the referral, why you have your concerns. This may be something you have witnessed, something the child has said or done, something an adult has said or done, or unexplained injuries for example.
5. If you have any discussions with the child, or others, you must also record these.
