Gloucestershire's five key principles of the Graduated Pathway

Gloucestershire’s Graduated Pathway is built on the foundations of five key principles:

1. A whole family approach to identifying needs and removing barriers
2. A holistic approach to all factors contributing to unmet needs (Social, Education, Care and Health)
3. A multi-agency and collaborative approach to understanding and meeting needs
4. There is an intrinsic link between the Graduated Pathway and Gloucestershire’s Levels of Intervention (LoI) – The Level of Intervention informs the appropriate level/ type of support that the Graduated Pathway process mobilises
5. The Graduated Pathway continuum should be considered as a “whole”, enabling practitioners to support and signpost at the earliest opportunity so that the right support can be offered, at the right time
