eCAF

Take further steps towards a single child record with One eCAF.

See the bigger picture

Identify children with additional needs and provide timely and co-ordinated support to help meet ECM outcomes.

An integrated approach

The electronically available system provides a more holistic view of a child’s developmental needs and conforms to national standards.

More informed decisions

The most up-to-date information is available through regular data feeds from schools and can be made immediately available through One to users of the Children’s Social Care (ICS) and other child centric modules.

Simple, single database

The One database holds details of the Common Assessment Framework making it unnecessary to purchase and manage yet another child database.

Shared access to information

One eCAF is available online, and can also be accessed within the One system, so appropriate and approved users of the system can access the information they need, when given access to the CAF.

Save time, minimise error

Up-to-date, accurate information instantly populates the front sheet of the eCAF if the child is known to the system, saving significant time and minimising the possibility of error.- One eCAF can be accessed directly by schools using SIMS without teachers and support staff having to leave their familiar environment.

• Less administration and more convenient access whilst respecting the needs of local customisation
• Teams can benefit from common data and process models alongside the flexibility to customize the form to capture additional data for recording and reporting purposes
• Reports can be created locally and can draw out a wide variety of valuable statistical information for a variety of users. Integration with One means that reports can also be created which draw data from all tables within it. This delivers additional benefits for monitoring the effect of assessments, measuring trends, providing comparative statistics and producing key indicators

One eCAF:

• Maintains specific CAF flags against a child’s record to track the existence and location of a common assessment episode
• Ensures compliance with common data and process models
• Provides additional flexibility to customise the form to capture additional data
