A level 3 TATC meeting will be convened when the
level of intervention identified at Level 2 has not
been sufficient to meet a child’s needs, and there is
a recognition that consideration now needs to be
given to a possible onward referral to either the
children’s reporter, or the Options group for an
offsite placement.

Is theTATC a workable/ practical method of delivering the
single Child’s Plan
Will the TATC enable children, young people and their
families to receive proportionate support when they need it?
Is our process child centred, asset based and solution
focused?
What level of support do we need for each level of test?
Is the paperwork user friendly?
Was it clear from the test who the Lead professional should
be? How was this negotiated?
Was everyone involved in the meeting clear about the role of the
lead professional?
Was everyone clear about the identified actions and when a
review would take place?
Positives
 A clear action plan based upon SHANARRI principles
 Clearly defined roles and responsibilities
 Improved relationships between home and school
Areas for development
 Action plan heavily reliant upon agency support
 More time spent preparing the family for the meeting in order
to better facilitate their participation
 More opportunities available for other family members /
supports to attend (large number of agency representatives
around the table was intimidating)
