1.6.4 Closure of Cases and Re-referrals |
.Contents
1. Closure of Cases
Once a file is ready to be closed it should be returned to the Manager who will then consider the file against the Transfer/Closure Summary Checklist.
(All workers will have a laminated copy of this checklist). CF15 must be completed and draft to complete on ICS.
Case closures within RAS that are not intended to transfer to Neighbourhood Services should have a multi-agency plan recorded and in place with the Lead Professional responsibility passing back into the CAF arena as appropriate.
2. Re-Referrals
Where a child is re-referred after a case has been closed for six weeks, the referral will be dealt with by the Referral and Assessment Service.
Where a child is re-referred within 6 weeks of closure, the referral will be dealt with by the team that last had case responsibility.
