 Integrated Practice
 The way we deliver services to children and young people in Hertfordshire will be changing over the coming months. Integrated practice will mean that professionals in the Hertfordshire Children’s Trust Partnership will work together in a more coordinated way, to share information and deliver services more effectively.
By working together we can make sure that a child’s additional needs are assessed in a more holistic way.
Integrated practice includes introducing new ‘tools’ to help us communicate more effectively. These tools include the Common Assessment Framework (CAF), Lead Professional role, ContactPoint and an electronic version of the CAF. Additionally, the Integrated Children’s System (ICS) is currently being rolled out to social care staff in CSF.
