Safeguarding through Rapid Intervention (STRIVE)

Safeguarding through Rapid Intervention (STRIVE)

STRIVE (Safeguarding through Rapid Intervention) is a multi-agency team, led by the Council, which intends to get the right help to the right people at the right time.

This ‘whole systems’ approach aims to see better, faster outcomes for our most vulnerable residents by  gathering and sharing information at an early stage to try and prevent the need for further intervention. 

It supports existing systems which are already in place to respond to child and adult protection concerns in Clackmannanshire. 

The STRIVE team is a multi-agency team made up of Council officers from Housing, Education, Justice Services, Money Advice and Child Care. The partner agencies include the Police, the Health and Social Care Partnership and the Third Sector Interface.

How can you help?

If your service has a concern for the welfare of an individual, family or household, a referral to STRIVE is appropriate if:  

• The incident(s) leading to this concern for welfare is regarded as concerning but not an emergency and not requiring statutory intervention.
• Multiple issues have been suggested that may extend to or require involvement of more than one Council service or partner agency.

Please e-mail the details of the referral to strive@clacks.gov.uk.

The referral will be logged and the STRIVE team will determine if any appropriate support measures or additional support measures are necessary, adding value to the work your service is already providing.
