Literature snapshots, July 2012Summary: This literature snapshot summarises evidence relating to the role of lead professionals within an integrated services approach to working with children and families.
The first section presents information on integrated services in general, followed by examples of key worker/lead professional models.
The UK lead professional model is then discussed in more depth including roles and functions of lead professionals, where it fits in the UK, early intervention processes, key facets of the model, and how lead professionals are selected and trained.
The next section summarises key information from evaluations of the UK lead professional model, including available cost-effectiveness data. A summary statement concludes the review. (from the website)
This literature snapshot is one of a number of time-limited research scans commissioned by Child, Family and Community Policy to inform the development of the White Paper for Vulnerable Children. The snapshot provides a narrative review of literature that focuses on a general topic of interest. It does not seek to weigh up a body of focused scholarship in order to make a definitive judgement about the strength of evidence in support of particular programmes and practices.
The information in this snapshot is limited to a single literature search across reputable online information sources, government websites and other printed materials. (from the document)
