How the Continuum of Need works
1. The Continuum of Need
This is a visual tool for services working with children and families. It provides a common language to describe needs and risks.
Using the Continuum
- The Continuum of Need cannot replace professional judgement. It is not a checklist or an assessment of need.
- A family’s position on the Continuum changes as their situation changes.
- Consider which needs take priority when identifying the proper level.
