Common Assessment Framework
The aims of the Common Assessment Framework are to:
- provide a method of assessment to support earlier intervention
- improve joint working and communication between practitioners
- embed a common language of assessment and need
- develop a more consistent view of appropriate responses
- improve the co-ordination and consistency between assessments
- inform decisions about whether further specialist assessment is necessary and if so contribute information to it
- enable a picture of a child or young person’s needs to be built up over time and, with appropriate consent, shared among professionals
- provide better, more evidence-based referrals to targeted and specialist services
A number of short documents have been produced to help practitioners, young people and their parents and carers to understand and contribute to their assessment.
To access these documents, please see the index below.
