Use of the Common Assessment Framework
(CAF)
The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a national assessment
framework which can be used to identify the unmet additional needs
of children and young people. CAF enables professionals to
work with families to explore all aspects of a child or young
person's life with a view to enabling early intervention where
appropriate. The CAF process is dependent on the child, young
person and family giving informed consent for assessment
information to be shared with relevant professionals. If a
family refuse to work with CAF and there are no safeguarding
concerns, you should continue to engage with the family and work
towards building stronger relationships wherever possible. More CAF
information can be found on
www.suffolk.gov.uk/caf
and
www.dcsf.gov.uk/ecm/deliveringservices
.
