What are the timescales for completing a CAF?
A. We need to complete CAFs as quickly and efficiently as we can. Delays in sharing information can have a detrimental impact on a child or young person’s welfare. We want to commit to sharing information within two weeks of receiving a CAF, but ideally we would like CAFs to be turned around much faster than that. Please be mindful of working hours for colleagues and negotiate timescales if it looks like it may be problematic e.g. colleagues working part-time hours or evenings, or education colleagues working term time only.
