Common Assessment Framework and ContactPoint:

 
CAF and ContactPoint are key components of the Every Child Matters Agenda.  CAF can be used by staff across all agencies to assess a child’s needs at the earliest opportunity and enable them to work together more effectively to deliver support.  ContactPoint is a national database which will help staff identify other practitioners who are working with a child so that they can contact them to share information.

For national information on CAF and ContactPoint including factsheets and guides for Managers and Practitioners, please follow the link http://www.everychildmatters.gov.uk
