The Team Around the Child (TAC) and the lead professional: A guide for managers

An estimated 20 per cent to 30 per cent of children and young people have additional needs at some point in their lives.

This guidance replaces guidance originally published by the DfES in 2006 and reprinted in 2007. It remains non-statutory guidance. The new guidance has been updated and re-titled in order to reflect policy developments and include revisions identified in consultation with practitioners and managers across the children and young people’s workforce.

The document also seeks to link together the processes and tools, to show how collaboratively they provide a package of support to help practitioners and managers implement integrated working in their practice.
