Assessment & Care Planning
Good, effective assessments are crucial at all stages of work with children and their families. Our approach to assessment is that in line with national guidance there is a need for a structured approach to information gathering linked to a dynamic and analytical process which must be approached collaboratively to achieve a holistic outcome for the child. We have a team of associates who can deliver training from the Common Assessment Framework through to assessments that may be used in care proceedings.
