GIRFEC approach was carried out in this research in order to test the effectiveness, durability and strength along with its shortcomings, which works for the betterment of children and youth of Scotland (Government of Scotland, 2015). The study carried out by the author is to understand the interpretation and calculations of the multiple agencies that work for this cause.The existences of these agencies is not a new thing in Scottish environment and with the participation of parents and these agencies, the researcher found that for many years now, working of the agencies together in order to support team work had been encouraged. As the collaboration of the parents and multiple agencies has its perks and showed better results over the years, there were many researches that showed that in some agencies, they lacked team work and they were not compatible and because of that it resulted into deaths of many children across the UK (Hammond et al., 2010; Laming, 2003; Lord, 2009, Department for Education, 2010). Researcher in the current study focal point revolved around the idea of how the agencies carried out their investigations and if it had shown any better results for the parents and their children.
