If your organisation wants to support families at an earlier stage ... when they need help find out how you can help:
JAFF (Joint Assessment Family Framework)
Welsh Government’s Families First programme promotes that clear systems for multi-agency support, with an emphasis on prevention and early intervention are put in place. The Joint Assessment Family Framework (JAFF) which includes a ‘Team Around the Family’ model of working is named in the Families First guidance as the backbone of this integrated working.
In Powys the JAFF consists of three processes.
¨ The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) form is the access or referral form completed by a practitioner with a parent/carer and the child, or young person.
¨ The CAF goes to a multi-agency panel (The Local Resource Solution Panel) for discussion and solutions are agreed as part of a plan for the family.
¨ A ‘Team Around the Family’ (or ‘Team Around the Young Person’ if they do not have family) meeting is then arranged involving those directly working with the child/young person/family to review, monitor and add to this plan.
