Think child, think parent, think family
The family CAF (fCAF) process is now being implemented across Birmingham as a methodology for assessing the needs of parents and children in the family and a coordinated approach to interventions from adults’ and children’s services to meet identified needs. The fCAF builds on the existing CAF work and adds an extra dimension by looking at the needs of the child and wider family.
The principles of fCAF now draw together Children’s and Adult service providers to provide an integrated support plan (ISP) addressing family needs.
The assessment paperwork has been revised to reflect this new approach.
