Unit 139 outcome 3.2
The framework assessment is a voluntary process and we must get consent from the child or young person and/or their parent or carer before doing it. The assessment form records what is going well for the family, what extra support may be needed and which professionals are best placed to support them. The information is used to develop an action plan which is agreed with the family.

A professional is worried about how well a child or young person is progressing. For example, they may have concerns about their health, development, welfare, behaviour or progress in learning;
A child or young person, or their parent or carer, raises a concern with a professional; or
A child's or young person's needs are unclear, or are broader than an individual service can address.
An Early Intervention assessment is completed with the agreement of parents so that local agencies can work with the family to identify what help the child and family might need. Children and their families can experience a range of needs at different times in their lives.
Where there are significant concerns about the safety of a child, for example if a child is suffering from an apparent serious injury or medical condition, attention must be sought immediately from Accident and Emergency
