Can a parent or carer initiate a CAF?
If a parent or carer would like to initiate a CAF, they should discuss this with someone currently providing a service to them. This may be a health visitor, a doctor, or someone else. Local services are responsible for determining how they use CAF, and there is no entitlement to receive one on demand. If, after talking to a practitioner, the individual wanted to discuss further what is happening locally, they could email caf@ealing.gov.uk for more information.
