CAF is used to assess children and their families to establish a family plan at the earliest opportunity.

This plan aims to make sure that children, young people, and their families receive the right services to protect and promote their well-being. It includes assigning a 'lead practitioner' as the main contact for the family and creating a family plan.

Practitioners in Universal Services can receive help when using the Common Assessment Framework through the four Children First Hubs.
