Common Assessment Framework (CAF)

children
  • The Common Assessment will ensure that a child or young person with additional needs only has to tell their story once.
  • The lead professional will be one point of contact and co-ordinate a family support plan.
  • An information sharing protocol will ensure that information is shared appropriately and safely

CAF is the only assessment that can be used by practitioners in all agencies in England that deliver service to children and young people. It covers all aspects that affect a child's development from health, education and social development, through to housing and family relationships.
