CAF Training
 |
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: you can access these documents here.
