Child Protection and Multi-disciplinary Team Meetings in General Practice
GGC Paediatric Guidelines
Warning
This guidance has been developed to support GP practices and primary care teams to conduct effective, efficient multidisciplinary (MDT) meetings that support vulnerable families.
These meetings do not replace normal case management/supervision arrangements for health visitors (HVs) or escalation/conflict resolution routes. MDTs are also not a route for new child protection (CP) referrals into SW although discussions may result in a new referral being raised with SW. Should any health professional have a new CP concern, normal child protection processes should be followed including submitting a notification of concern (NOC).
