Common Assessment Framework (CAF)
Information for Parents
When your child needs extra support, we want to find the best way forward as soon as possible.
If you agree, a worker you feel comfortable with, like your child's teacher or health visitor, will ask you and your child some questions to find out what help and support your child might need. The information is recorded on a simple form (called the Common Assessment Framework or CAF for short). You and your child agree what is put on the form, and you will be given a copy of it. Older children may feel able to discuss their situation on their own with the worker.
Based on the information you and your child provide, all those who can help your child will work together to provide the support your child needs. Only workers who need to know about your child will have information shared with them.
To get help talk to a teacher, health visitor or other professional working with you or your child or contact ASKK Kingston's Information Sharing Hub on 020 8547 5888.
