Wiltshire Parent Carer Council

(formerly Parent Carers Power Group)  

 

This site is in the early stages of development and will be updated on an ongoing basis. 

 

As parent carers ourselves, we will do as much as we can, 

whenever we can to improve it, around looking after our children,

so please bear with us. 

 You can also find our discussion board on www.facebook.com 

 
We very much welcome your thoughts, comments and suggestions, so please do contact us

 

 New “CAF in Wiltshire” mini-video on www.wiltshirepathways.org.  

Spend a couple of minutes taking a look.

 

The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) has been around for some time now and its use in Wiltshire is increasing.  But if you are still not certain about what it means and how it works, here’s a quick and easy way to find out. 

 

Go to the home page of www.wiltshirepathways.org and view our mini-video “Introducing the CAF” (just 2 mins 30 sec long) in which a range of Wiltshire professionals talk about their experience of the Common Assessment Framework and how it works to support and identify children who may require a statement of special educational needs or extra support at school.
