LINCS – helping you support families

LINCS helps you support children and young people before they reach crisis point.  It is a way of giving support early to prevent problems later on, saving time and money.  LINCS brings the different agencies who are involved with a child together so that they can share information.  LINCS incorporates the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) and a new simplified form is now available.  Free training and support is available but only for a limited time.  Visit: www.solihull.gov.uk/workforce, or email: lincs@solihull.gov.uk or call: 0121 788 4334.
