Anyone working with children, young people, and families who are receiving multi-agency support could be asked to be the Lead Professional for them.

This would usually be the person with the best relationship with the family with capacity to be their point of contact, organise and hold meetings as well as hold other professionals to account.

This could feel a little overwhelming at times so some handy guides have been created to help and support you with what you might need to do, how, and by when.
