Challenges…
• Are our estimated numbers of targeted
families right? CC providers need to reach
more targeted families
• More evidence of outcomes needed – tracking
impact
• Increased co-ordination of CAF’s through
logging and E-CAF
• CAF as an assessment tool not just a referral
tool
• Multiple referral forms (eg S&LT/CAMHS)
