The Warrington CAF and Development Team are responsible for holding and administering service allocation meetings (SAMs).
SAMs are held on a regular basis and serve to offer advice and guidance to professionals using common assessment forms and the Warrington family support model.
A range of professionals from the following services will attend each SAM:
- Health
- Children's Centres
- Youth Services
- Social Care
- Inclusion Services
- Warrington Attendance Team
- Intensive Family Support
- Others to be consulted with as needed
If you would like to discuss a child, young person or family at a SAM, you must get their signed consent. Consent should be recorded on a CAF assessment and will only be accepted on a FSM01 referral form in exceptional circumstances. Copies of CAF forms and referral forms are available in the practitioners toolkit.
More information about SAMs is available through clicking on the links below or by downloading the service allocation meetings guidance and standards document. If you would like to be added to the distribution list for SAM dates and information please contact the CAF and Development Team.
