The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) process is at the heart of delivering of integrated locality based working for children, young people and their families in Herefordshire. As we move towards delivery of children's services through Locality Teams we need to work with our colleagues and partners to develop robust, practical models to operate the CAF, which engage a broad range of agencies to work together in communities to meet needs more effectively and earlier, and to build confidence in our lead professionals to coordinate and deliver excellent packages of support. This paper sets out a framework for this. The current proposals for locality teams in Herefordshire divide the county into two, with a team covering the north and one to the south. These proposals cover the management and staffing arrangements for the county but do not set out the more detailed arrangements for how we will deliver services more locally to children, young people and their families. As Herefordshire Public Services explore the options for locality based arrangements across the council and PCT, building on this work, this paper sets out further proposals for taking forward cluster based working for children, young people and families through locality based multi agency groups within our communities in Herefordshire.
We will welcome your views.

| How the results are being used | Results will inform development of integrated working in local areas. This will impact on the way that families access children’s services. It will ensure that family’s needs are met at an earlier stage and that families receive the support they need when they need it and where they need it i.e. they will not need to travel to the city to access core services. |
