We have developed our Children’s Social Care, Policy, Procedure and Practice (CSPPP) portal specifically practitioners working in local authority Children’s Social Care services.
Available options:
All our customer websites will be branded with the SCP logo and colours, whichever model is chosen:
The portal is supplied with our full suite of template chapters, written to reflect relevant guidance and legislation. We will add local links throughout the site (for example, to the local safeguarding children partnership policies and procedures) to help ensure all relevant information is in one place. The customer is supplied with all the chapters in Word to review, and these can be updated as required to reflect local teams and ways of working. These amendments are then formatted by PPP into the site. The draft portal and Word chapters are available for the customer to review within two weeks of contract agreement. Customised portals offer lots of opportunities to localise content, including:
Where a local authority already has their own policies and procedures, we can format these into one of our specialist websites. As part of this process, we will conduct a review of the information sent to us and provide feedback if there is any missing or out of date information. Our template chapters can be added separately to plug any gaps, if required. Sites can be available within one month of receiving the customer’s documentation.
As well as having the customer’s own policies and procedures, Format and Review portals offer other opportunities to localise sites, including:
These have been created specifically for local authorities who share content. They can use PPP content as the starting point (see Customised Portal) or start with existing local policies and procedures (see Format and Review Portal).
Please note: For all our models, PPP will send out suggested amendments every six months for local review and sign off. Urgent amendments, such as needed as a result of changes to legislation or statutory guidance, will be offered in between updates if required. Customers can also send their information for upload at any time.
