The Front Door is staffed with professionals from a range of agencies including police, health, education, probation. These professionals share information to ensure early identification of potential significant harm, and trigger interventions to prevent further harm or to safeguard children's welfare.

The Front Door staff gather and review information from a range of agencies and use this to decide the most appropriate way to support a family and ensure the needs of children are met.
