The electronic Common Assessment Framework was developed to help identify and deliver preventative services to children and young people with additional needs.

Four pilot projects were carried out in Wales between October 2007 and June 2009 and an evaluation of these was undertaken by the University of East Anglia, which was completed in February 2009.

Further information on the Common Assessment Framework, the next steps, and links to the relevant evaluation documents can be accessed from the Welsh Assembly Government website.
