Common Assessment Framework
The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a generic assessment, providing an initial assessment of a child/young person's needs for extra services.
It is common method of assessment across all children's services and across national and local areas. It aims to help early identification of needs, leading to co-ordinated provision of services, involving a lead professional where appropriate, and sharing information to avoid the duplication of assessments. This also reduces the need for children/young people or their families to re-tell their story to different practitioners.
