Harm Outside the Home (HOTH)
Harm Outside the Home (HOTH)
The South Gloucestershire Children’s Partnership include Harm Outside the Home (CP-HOTH) into our Child Protection Processes. This change is needed:
- to ensure that all organisations are recognising and responding to risks outside the home (HOTH)/extra-familial harm as safeguarding issues which require a multi- agency safeguarding response.
- in recognition that a different response is required to reduce risk to children where the risks are HOTH rather than relating to factors within the family/ home.

South Gloucestershire Harm Outside the Home Tactical Group Meetings (SG HTG)
From October 2025 PIMMs (Partnership Intelligence Management Meetings) will be replaced by the above. These meetings will be held fortnightly and form part of our response to Harm Outside the Home for children in South Gloucestershire. The meetings will use a VOLT (Victim, Offender, Location, Theme) model. The primary purpose of these meetings is to consider new or emerging concerns so that early intervention and disruption is put in place to protect children and spaces/places of concern.
