  1. Ensure venue is welcoming and free from interruption. Think about the provision of
     drinking water/tissues.

  2. Welcome everyone and thank them for attending.

  3. Housekeeping – share any information about the venue and collect the names of
     everyone attending; give apologies, state how long the meeting is likely to last.

  4. Agree purpose of meeting – e.g ‘What has led us here?’ What do we want to achieve?’
     You may wish to highlight that there will be time to explore what is going well as well as
     key areas for concern.

  5. Ask what is going well for the child, inviting views from the child/young person and family
     first

     the left of the family (if present)

  8. Update on actions from last meeting

  9. Explore key areas of concern, again letting the child/young person/family speak first

      that things have changed, including the family’s views on desired outcomes.
