Integrated practice - working together to make a positive difference to the lives of children and young people

Child in Blue Jacket

Welcome to Hertfordshire's Integrated Practice web pages.

Integrated practice, incorporating the Common Assessment Framework (CAF), focuses on enabling, and encouraging, practitioners to work together and to adopt common processes to deliver frontline services coordinated and built around the needs of the child/young person.

Integrated Practice (IP) is part of the Every Child Matters agenda and aims to give all children the support they need to achieve the five outcomes:

  • Be healthy
  • Stay safe
  • Enjoy and achieve
  • Make a positive contribution
  • Achieve economic well-being

As part of Hertfordshire’s commitment to children and young people we have tried to make these pages relevant and useful for children, young people, parents, carers and practitioners.

ContactPoint is an online directory holding basic demographic detail information of all children and their parents as well as contact details of any professional working with that particular child.
