Common Assessment Framework(CAF)

The CAF will enable practitioners to gather and record information about a child or young person with additional needs in a systematic, holistic, yet simple way so that they can begin to work out what the needs are and what should to be done to address them. IAF is designed to enable practitioners across all agencies, after training, to follow the same process and achieve more consistent assessments that can be shared and understood by other agencies.

Work is underway to develop and implement a strategy for the e-enablement of IAF (eIAF) to provide authorised practitioners throughout England with access to a system which allows them to store and retrieve IAF information electronically, across agency and geographical borders where necessary.

GOYH supports the Full Integrated Working Network which meets bi-monthly.
