The Common Assessment Framework (CAF)
• The CAF is a shared assessment (and planning) tool used across agency to help practitioners develop a shared understanding of a Childs needs so they can be meet more effectively
• CAF is an important tool for early intervention it helps practitioners assess needs in earlier stages and work with families and other practitioners to meet those needs
• It does not replace MSCB procedures.
Key aims and principles of the CAF
A standard national approach
Assessment to support earlier intervention
A process supported by a standard form
Holistic
CAF cannot guarantee service provision
Empowering and a joint process
Simple and practical
Focuses on needs and strengths
Improve joint working and communication
Rationalise assessments
Support the sharing of information
Support better referrals, where appropriate
Principles Aims
Introduction to CAF
Rationale for lead professional
• Evidence suggests that the lead professional is central to the effective delivery of integrated services to children who require support from a number of practitioners.
• It helps to overcome some of the frustrations traditionally experienced by service users with a range of needs, e.g.:– numerous lengthy meetings;– lack of co-ordination;– conflicting and confusing advice;– not knowing who to speak to;– the right support not being available at the right time.
• It can also help alleviate the frustrations often felt by practitioners in accessing other services.
Vision and functions of lead professional
Core Functions
Vision: All children and young people with additional needs who require support from more than one
practitioner should experience a seamless and effective service in which one practitioner takes a lead role to ensure that services are co-ordinated, coherent and
achieving intended outcomes
Reduce overlap and
inconsistency in the services
received
Act as a single point of contact for the child or
family
Co-ordinate the delivery of
actions agreed by the
practitioners involved

DEFINITION / ILLUSTRATION

CHILDREN and YOUNG PEOPLE with ADDITIONAL NEEDS
CHILDREN and YOUNG PEOPLE with IMMEDIATE NEEDS CHILDREN and YOUNG PEOPLE with COMPLEX NEEDS
CIRCUMSTANCES & KEY FEATURES
(These are examples not an exhaustive list)
(Also includes unborn children
Children and families needs are fully met by access to and availability of a range of effective universal services to which they are entitled.
Child/young person has no additional needs.
Children who need targeted/integrated support early and at the first sign of need, as universal provision is insufficient to meet the needs of the child and family.
Children who need early intervention to reduce the likely impact of: -
Impaired health, development & education
Disability
Living in or at risk of living in temporary accommodation
Social exclusion
Anti-social behaviour / Risk of offending

Information Sharing Guidance for Practitioners
• Based on DCSF guidance.
• Overarching guidance for sharing information on individual children.
Information sharing key principles
Practitioners must:
Openly and honestly
explain what, how and why
information will be shared
Seek consent - if not secured, this
should be respected where possible (unless there is sufficient need to over-ride the lack of consent)
Always consider a child’s safety
and welfare when making
decisions about sharing
Record the reasons for the
decision – whether it is to share or not.
Seek advice
where in doubt
Ensure information is accurate, up to date,
necessary, shared with the appropriate people
and stored safely
An introduction to information sharing
Information sharing decision making• Decisions require informed judgement
• Consent is the key to successful information sharing (Even where the law does not demand it, operating with consent is good practice)
Likely outcome if
information is shared
