News: February 2012

We are delighted to announce that Tri.x have been awarded two prestigious contracts, both by Greater Manchester consortiums. The first, to create a regional Children's Services Manual; the second to create a 'Pan Manchester' SCB Procedures Manual.

These contracts, awarded after a comprehensive tendering process, confirm that Tri.x are the UK's leading provider of policies and procedures – more than 110 local authorities (Children's Services, LSCBs, Adult Social Care and Adult Safeguarding) now trust us to keep them up to date with changing legislation and emerging good practice.

Plotting a way through the maze of constant change

We anticipate a new social care and safeguarding landscape will emerge this year e.g. as a result of the Munro review, which will provide challenges that are not just confined to child protection services, we are seeing ramifications for everyone in the social care sector; both children and adults. However, we have earned a reputation for helping customers plot their way through the maze of change and uncertainty to provide accurate, up to date information for staff, partners and wider stakeholders.

We do this through our unique blend of legal, practice and technical expertise, in collaboration with our wide family of customers, all passionate about improving practice and outcomes for vulnerable children and adults.
