CADS Request for Support Portal delay
Further to previous communication on 2 June 2026 (www.schools.norfolk.gov.uk/article/78877), CADS are delaying the roll out of the Request for Support form to ensure this meets the needs of those partners referring in, and those in the front door.
Update to CADS Processes
From 8 June, Children's Advice and Duty Service are changing the routes available to get support through an amended Request for Support portal, which will help ensure the right response is provided, whether through Family Hubs, wider community early help services, or Family Help. DSLs will have an opportunity to ask any questions at a dedicated QA session on 22 June 2026.
