Integrated working (Common Assessment Framework) 

Integrated working is where everyone supporting children work together to deliver more effective services and improve outcomes for the child and their family.

The Integrated Working Team in Wolverhampton, leads on the implementation of Integrated Working which includes:

• Common Assessment Framework (CAF)
• National eCAF
• Wolverhampton Family Services Directory. 

We work in partnership with all agencies to plan the implantation of Integrated Working.

Integrated working is achieved through collaboration and co-ordination at all levels, across all services, in both single and multi-agency settings. It requires clear and ongoing leadership and management. At an operational level, it is facilitated by adopting common service delivery models, tools and processes.

We provide a range of support mechanisms these include:

• training at various levels
• one to one support
• advice and guidance on writing/amending policies and procedures to include integrated working. 

The integrated working team maintain a central record for the numbers of CAF's completed and are able to report on the progress of the implementation within Wolverhampton.
