The child s voice should be heard and account taken of their wishes and feelings. The purpose of all interventions should be to achieve the best possible outcomes for each child, recognising that each child is unique. Effective practice with children and families requires sound professional judgements that are underpinned by a rigorous evidence base and draw on the practitioner s knowledge and experience.
