Please book places by contacting QLS on: 01785 277932

The cost for the Full Day CAF Training and the Half Day sessions is £25 per person, free to voluntary and community sector organisations.  There will be a charge of £75 for professionals who do not turn up on the day or who transfer off with fewer than three days' notice.

CAF Briefing

The CAF Briefing is a handout designed for use with managers and professionals in a single agency setting.  It provides a basic understanding of the CAF and can be used in team meetings or other forums for discussion.  The Children's Trust has recommended that each agency uses the CAF Briefing with their own staff, as appropriate.  The duration of briefings is likely to be 30-45 minutes.  You will need to add your organisations details to the briefing.

The CAF Briefing can be downloaded here:

CAF Awareness Session

The CAF Awareness Session is a designed for managers and professionals in a single agency or a multi-agency setting.  The Children's Trust has agreed for each agency to deliver the CAF Awareness Session to their own staff, with the opportunity for operational issues to be considered and addressed.  Multi-agency awareness sessions should be considered by agencies within each locality, wherever possible.

This level of training comprises of:

  • PowerPoint slides;
  • Trainer notes;
  • Information pack for participants.

The CAF Awareness Session is aimed at professionals who need to know about the CAF, but are unlikely to complete the CAF themselves.  The awareness session provides a basic level of understanding.  The duration of sessions is likely to be between 2-3 hours.

The CAF Awareness Session materials can be downloaded here:
