Following an in-depth review of Hertfordshire's Integrated Practice Training Programme, it has been agreed to move from a modular approach to a single full day training course.

• An overview of Integrated Practice
• Information Sharing
• How and when to undertake a Common Assessment
• The role of the Lead Professional
• Convening/attending a Team Around the Family meeting
• Links between the Common Assessment Framework/Information Sharing and Safeguarding.

Target Audience

- Practitioners within the children's workforce or wider workforce who work with children, young people and or families who have not previously attended any Integrated Practice, CAF or Information Sharing training sessions.


Integrated Practice Refresher

This half day training is open to all practitioners who have previously attended Integrated Practice training, and feel that they would benefit from refreshing their knowledge of the Common Assessment Framework.

The session will include:

• Information Sharing and consent re-cap
• CAF process re-cap
• Reassessment - Is the plan of action still appropriate? How to identify progress, have needs been met or changed?
• Updates within the CAF, including quality not quantity and Team Around the Family
• Closing a CAF
• Seeking advice and guidance

Integrated Practice Roadshows

Integrated Practice Roadshows focus on providing support for practitioners who are initiating CAF's, taking on the role of lead professional or attending TAF meetings.

They enable practitioners to keep up-to-date with all developments concerning, Information Sharing, CAF, Lead Professional and training.
Roadshows provide an excellent way of sharing some of the great practice in Hertfordshire, as well as providing an opportunity for practitioners to strengthen their skills and knowledge around the CAF process.

Guest speakers are invited along to the Roadshows, to give practitioners an insight into how their service engages with the CAF process for example CAMHs and Targeted Youth Support.
