Getting It Right for Every Child with PANS

Getting it Right for Every Child (GIRFEC) is part of the Scottish Government’s methodology for the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and is used to assess the health and wellbeing of children, as well as assessing actions and interventions.

The GIRFEC National Practice Model can be used to help determine the factors impacting the wellbeing of a child with, or displaying symptoms of, PANS or PANDAS, as well as providing a framework for determining possible supports. 

As this model is part of standard practice across all services working with children and young people in Scotland, it provides an ideal framework to support professionals in better understanding the conditions.
