oUR ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK
PARENT ASSESS FRAMEWORK
Our
assessment framework will use a traffic light system, this enables the parents
to share their views and supports the family assessment practitioners to
demonstrate how the parents are doing within the home.
The
assessment framework aims to be very clear in showing the parents areas in
which they need to develop within and uses colour coding to reference. See
Indicators below
Red - that there are significant concerns
Yellow - that there are some concerns and that
monitoring required
Green – No concerns reported
