From the case summary page you have the ability to amend or add case member details and
start your actions relating to the CAF process
How to add additional details to the family members
At this point you need to check their details including ethnicity, religion and language. You do
this by clicking on the person’s name – do this for each family member ensuring details are
correct

This will bring you to a page of all their details which you can update and then ‘save’
This system will then tell you the information has been saved and you can now return to the
case summary page by either using the ‘breadcrumb trail’ or the links on the left
Starting the assessment

At this point you have the opportunity to pick who will be part of the assessment by putting a tick
by their name (if you do not tick the whole family, you can bring them in once the assessment
has started) and then click Create Assessment
This now brings you to the assessment and these are the tabs within the assessment

First tab – assessment information
Boxes are fairly self explanatory – remember to SAVE as you go. Practitioner drop down and
the bottom will pull your details through, when you are ready to move to the next tabs press the
NEXT button or click on the tab you want to go to next
The next two tabs contain the personal information and are ready only, these cannot be edited
in the assessment and you do this in the case summary, case member details
It is within these tabs if you need to pull other family members in you can by clicking on the plus
button – you can see the children in the assessment down the left hand side

Once you click the plus button you get a pop up box, you can see mark is already in the
assessment as his tick is grey but we can bring missy in by putting a tick against her
We can now see Missy’s details tab – the blue means we are looking at her details and Mark is
grey as we are not looking at his tab – both of these children will now appear in the Child profile
tab

Services tab
Here you will enter the GP, school, and other agencies currently involved with the family
You click on the green plus signs and are brought to the screen below – both the GP, Services,
and Schools all work the same - you pick the main Service Category from the National service
list e.g. GP, School, health – then the local service which would be the name of the service –
and then practitioner/professional attached to the service
This is demonstrated for the GP section see below – pick the GP if in the list or leave blank

You can add notes to main the services screen which are automatically visible rather
than within the service involvement box above
These are the National service list categories
This list is in many places in the system – with the local service list attached (a break down of
local service can be accessed on the How to guide – National and Local Service list)

Once you have selected services currently involved the display as below
The next tab is the Child profile, there are 5 headings with comments, strengths and needs to
be listed against each and a level of need scale to complete (this feeds through to the distance
travelled) for each child (remember to save as you go)
On both the child and parent profiles, the boxes will expand as you type and to the right hand
side of each text box there is the option to bold, underline, bullet point and spell check.
You can see that Mark’s tab is blue so that is the child you are writing about. To write about
Missy you just click on her tab.

The next tab is the parent/adult tab which again has 5 headings with strengths and needs to be
listed against each and a level of need scale to complete. These are mandatory and will feed
through to the distance travelled for each parent/adult (remember to save as you go)
If there were other parents/adults in the assessment, their details would be down the left hand
side the same as in child profile. You will find this format throughout the system in various
places
Conclusions Tab
This is where you record the actions needed and comments from case members, also the date
of the first TAF meeting.

At this point you will need to save the assessment as draft, print off and get signed consent from
relevant case member. Once you have signed consent you can replicate this consent within the
system to then enable you to add your TAF members.
The assessment requires one mandatory action, this can always be the task to organise the
TAF.
