157 Requirement for Police Involvement
157 </h2>
158 <p>
158 The home's manager should agree with the local Police, procedures and guidance on Police
involvement with the home. The aim should be to reduce unnecessary Police involvement in
managing behaviour and avoiding the criminalisation of behaviours within the home whenever
possible. Children should not be charged with offences resulting from behaviour within a
children's home that would not similarly lead to Police involvement if it occurred in a family
home.
158 </p>
159 A decision to contact the Police should normally be taken by the home's manager, unless a serious
incident has occurred, in which case, staff may contact the Police immediately then inform a
manager. See
159 <a href="#cat_response">
159 Section 2, Notifications and Categories of Response
159 </a>
159 .
160 <p>
160 The following situations are the most common ones in children's homes where police involvement
might be requested:

165 Such incidents can range from minor disagreements to serious assaults where physical injury is
caused.
165 </p>
166 <p>
166 The home's manager should consider the following when deciding whether to notify the police:
166 </p>
167 <ul>
168 <li>
168 Wishes of the victim;
168 </li>
169 <li>
169 Severity of the injury sustained/nature of threat received by the victim;
169 </li>
170 <li>
170 Probability of a repeat incident;
170 </li>
171 <li>
171 Previous relationship between victim and offender;
171 </li>
172 <li>
172 Potential impact on the child/young person following formal Police involvement;
172 </li>
173 <li>
173 Likely effectiveness of Police action/court proceedings;
173 </li>
174 <li>
174 Future best interests of both parties;
174 </li>
175 <li>
175 Message sent to other young people;
175 </li>
176 <li>
176 Availability of alternative causes of action, e.g. restorative approaches with the consent of
the victim;

180 </p>
181 <p>
181 Violence towards staff can range from verbal threats to physical acts amounting to assault.
Whilst each home has a responsibility of care towards young people, their welfare needs to be
balanced with the rights of staff not to be subjected to violence in the course of their duties.
181 </p>
182 <p>
182 The decisions whether to report such incidents to the Police will be affected by factors similar
to those listed above, and incidents should only be reported when it is agreed that they cannot
be dealt with through other means. Where there is no immediate continuing threat of violence it
may be in the best interests of the staff member to take time to discuss and consider possible
options. One option could be a referral to the Youth Offending Team Youth Crime Prevention
Programme.
182 </p>
183 <p>
183 Following such incidents it is important that staff utilise standard de-briefing processes, and
should ensure risk assessments are updated or completed in relation to the risk of violence or
injury to themselves or colleagues. A professional's meeting could be a useful method by which
to assess these risks and look at ways this risk could be reduced.

185 <p>
185 The majority of criminal incidents involving Police relate to damage to the children's home, and
serious consideration should be given to finding alternative responses. It is important to
consider whether involving the Police is an effective and proportionate response, taking into
account the following:
185 </p>
186 <ul>
187 <li>
187 Level/value of damage caused;
187 </li>
188 <li>

the following should be considered before involving the Police:
195 </p>
196 <ul>
197 <li>

234 It is recognised that caring for, and managing, young people with difficult or challenging
behaviour is an integral feature of residential care work. Residential staff will generally
manage problematic situations except where they are so severe that immediate Police involvement
is essential in order to avoid physical assault or damage.

235 Serious Incidents
235 </h3>
236 <p>
236 Incidents of violence requiring an immediate Police response where children/young persons or
staff are:
236 </p>
237 <ul>
238 <li>
238 At risk of immediate serious physical harm;
238 </li>
239 <li>
239 Where there is a risk of substantial damage to property; or
239 </li>
240 <li>
240 Risk of significant disorder with the home.
240 </li>
241 </ul>
242 <p>
242 In such situations the manager of the home/senior person on duty should contact the Police by
calling 999.
242 </p>
243 <p>
243 If the manager has not been consulted/informed prior to contacting the Police, they should be
notified without delay:
243 </p>
244 <ul>
245 <li>
245 If the Police are called to the home, or
245 </li>
246 <li>
246 A serious offence is committed, the relevant senior managers must be notified.
246 </li>
247 </ul>
248 <p>
248 It will also be necessary to notify the social worker and the

249 Incidents which are not Considered Serious
249 </h3>
250 <p>
250 This is an incident where no immediate Police response is required for example where assaults or
damage has occurred and there is no risk of recurrence/
250 <a href="http://trixresources.proceduresonline.com/nat_key/keywords/significant_harm.html"
target="_blank">
250 Significant Harm
250 </a>
250 to people, or incidents of theft. The incidents should be reported to the home's manager who
then has the responsibility of identifying the appropriate course of action.
250 </p>
251 <p>
251 It is important to avoid any unnecessary reporting of incidents to the Police. Should the
Manager decide and/or the victim wishes that formal Police involvement is necessary, where
possible this should be through the local Police, for example as part of regular Liaison
Meetings.
251 </p>
252 <p>
252 When a situation involving a child or young person is to be discussed at the Liaison Meeting the
child's social worker should be informed and they may wish to join the discussion.
252 </p>
253 <p>
253 If the discussion needs to be held sooner the manager should arrange for a member of the Local
Policing Team to visit the home as soon as possible. If there is a specific officer who
frequently liaises with the home and this officer is unavailable the manager should contact the
Police Control Room to request a delay or scheduled response visit by another officer.
253 </p>
254 <p>
254 In certain circumstances preservation of evidence may be an issue and residential staff will
need to ensure that reasonable steps are taken to retain articles relevant to any criminal
allegation or police investigation.
254 </p>
255 A referral to the Youth Crime Prevention Programme (usually organised by the YOT) should be
considered for those cases considered not serious or internal - via the social worker.

256 Ongoing Liaison
256 </h3>
257 <p>
257 Police involvement should be on a risk assessment basis. If there is no risk, then the
involvement will be with managers or at a low level of involvement.
257 </p>
258 <p>
258 The
258 <span class="bold">
258 primary
258 </span>
258 Police involvement in children's homes should be through a member of the Local Police meeting
staff on a regular basis. Whilst some officers may already perform this duty it must be
emphasised that a good working relationship is the most effective way to respond to young people
with difficulties, and it is in this area that consideration should be given for joint agency
training.
258 </p>
259 <p>
259 A regular liaison meeting (ideally on a four weekly basis) between a member of the Local Police
and the manager would provide for discussion of not serious incidents within the home to
identify the appropriate method of resolution, including:
259 </p>
260 <ul>
261 <li>
261 Internal action by staff with no Police involvement;
261 </li>
262 <li>
262 Formal Police investigation primarily by a member of the Local Police (and any resulting
action).
262 </li>
263 </ul>
264 <p>
264 This liaison meeting will also provide an opportunity to share more general views and
co-operation and develop a better understanding of each agencies responsibilities and practices.
264 </p>
265 It is important to be flexible when determining the most suitable option for dealing with children
and young persons. Additional advice and support could be sought from the child's social worker.
