The development of the Common Assessment Framework (CAF) can be traced back to The Victoria Climbie Inquiry (The Laming Report), which made a number of recommendations to Government in order to improve protection for children.
The recommendations included the need for Local Authorities to:
"Establish reliable ways of assessing the needs and circumstances of children in their area..."
The CAF has been developed for use by practitioners in all organisations so that they can communicate and work more effectively together.

The survey does not cover young people living in institutions, including prisons, or the homeless, and thus omits some high offending groups - link to report here.
