Step up, Step down

A key element of the "Common Assessment Framework" (CAF). Different services are engaged as needs increase. No agency disengages without ensuring that colleagues in other agencies are sufficiently informed to continue working with the child or young person.  At the point where an agency disengages from the CAF process as needs decrease or their work is finished, they update the TAC and Lead Practitioner with the work they have done. This is achieved by sharing an updated CAF or equivalent (agency specific) summary of work done.
