TAC as the family-owned organisational nucleus making the best use of limited resources
The focus in this essay is on how each child's TAC can function in early childhood intervention as the family-owned organisational nucleus – a persisting organisational nucleus that is essential for each child who has a 'multifaceted condition' to keep all separate agencies, services and practitioners working together in an integrated and coherent approach. The essay describes the relevant characteristics of the TAC approach and the potential achievements of a child's TAC, with just three or four people, functioning as the organisational nucleus for multi-agency, child and family-centred support. Peter Limbrick argues that the TAC System's work patterns bring real benefit to busy practitioners, make the best possible use of limited resources and, most important of all, recognise parents' natural central role in caring for their children.
