Integrated chronologies are an essential tool in multi-agency work to protect people who are or may be at risk of harm. They support timely and appropriate decision making about actions required to address concerns.
All partner agencies should maintain and review chronologies for people whom they work with, who are or may be at risk of harm or pose a risk to others.
Practitioners should create clear, concise single agency chronologies and apply them to identify, analyse, review and address concerns for children and adults. These are the foundations of the integrated chronologies required to support regular analysis and review of the circumstances of people for whom there are welfare concerns or who are the subject of Public Protection processes.
