Integrated Working and Common Assessment Framework: Handbook for Practitioners
  • For everyone who works with children, young people and families, whether they are employed or volunteers, and working in the public, private or voluntary sectors.
  • For staff working in health, education, early years and childcare, safeguarding, youth offending, police, Young People's Service and Connexions services, advisory and support services, leisure and so on.
  • Also for practitioners who work in services for adults, as many of the adults accessing those services are also mothers, fathers or carers.
