CAF Training 2015
The Early Intervention Locality Teams can provide personal CAF Support in
order to support you with completion of the CAF and adopting the Lead
Professional role. Professionals can request this support and become involved
with the CAF process without any classroom training.
There is an introductory classroom based training available for professionals to
back-up the practical advice and support available, however not having
attended this course does not preclude a professional from initiating a CAF or
becoming Lead Professional, with appropriate support.
Professionals should only attend this training if they intend undertaking a CAF
in the near future and should discuss this with their agency line manager before
applying for a place.
You will find the following information in this pack:
 A training schedule
 Further details of the training
 A booking form which must be either signed or emailed in by your line
manager
