    What is Getting It Right For Every Child (GIRFEC)?
    GIRFEC is a consistent way for people to work with all children and young people. It's the bedrock for all children's services and can also be used by practitioners in adult services who work with parents or carers. The approach helps practitioners focus on what makes a positive difference for children and young people and how they can act to deliver these improvements. GIRFEC is being threaded through all existing policy, practice, strategy and legislation affecting children, young people and their families.

    The GIRFEC approach is about how practitioners across all services for children and adults meet the needs of children and young people, working together where necessary to ensure they reach their full potential.

    It promotes a shared approach and accountability that:
    • builds solutions with and around children, young people and families;
    • enables children and young people to get the help they need when they need it;
    • supports a positive shift in culture, systems and practice;
    • involves working better together to improve life chances for children, young people and families.


    Intended Learning Outcomes:
    • Able to link GIRFEC to your own practice;
    • Better understanding of the Wellbeing Wheel;
    • Better understanding of the role of the Named Person.
