National eCAF
The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is a key component in the Every Child Matters programme which aims to transform children’s services by supporting more effective prevention and early intervention. The aim of the CAF is to provide a standardised approach for practitioners in the holistic assessment of a child’s needs and the design of an integrated service to meet those needs.
The Government is developing a national eCAF system to ensure that CAF can work to its full potential.
What is eCAF?
- eCAF is the e-enablement of the CAF
- eCAF will allow a practitioner to electronically create, store and share a CAF Form securely.
- eCAF will give authorised, trained practitioners from different sectors secure access to key information concerning the assessment. This will allow them to plan, monitor and review a co-ordinated approach to the delivery of the most appropriate services.
