This practice tool helps practitioners to collect information about a child's health and development and to analyse it in a logical sequence that identifies the type and seriousness of impairment to development. Weighed alongside other criteria, the results help to improve decisions about if and how to intervene in a child's life. The tool seeks to improve the consistency of practice decisions, both in relation to an individual practitioner's caseload and across children's services. To that end, the tool encourages greater consultation about difficult judgements. The tool also helps practitioners evaluate their own practice.
