HappyMaz Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Blimey! I had no idea this was all going on. I don't know the CAF form inside out and back to front but I don't think I ever recall seeing 'eye wateringly intimate questions about children’s sexual behaviour'... My CAF training was cancelled and I haven't managed to re-book myself so I might not have all the facts at my disposal, so I'm wondering if there is a different CAF form for different ages of children?

Guest MaryEMac Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Not sure that I've seen that bit either. Nust admit that I was surprised when I read it in the Mail on Sunday. Mary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marion Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 (edited) No it's the same form for all children under Behavioural development Lifestyle, self-control, reckless or impulsive activity; behaviour with peers; substance misuse; anti-social behaviour; sexual behaviour; offending; violence and aggression; restless and overactive; easily distracted, attention span/concentration and under Identity, self-esteem, self-image and social presentation Perceptions of self; knowledge of personal/family history; sense of belonging; experiences of discrimination due to race, religion, age, gender, sexuality and disability not really eye watering intimate questions are they?

surfer Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yes -as usual the Daily mail must need to boost their sales and have enlarged somewhat on the truth! The form is designed to be used to assess children upto 18 and to 25 if they have additional needs so there may well be need to include info about sexual behaviour. If you want to look at the forms this is the link here You can download the form and check out the questions yourself. The moral of this story? - don't believe everything you read in the papers! caf_form.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Well, it's just the usual sensationalist rubbish these rags LOVE to publish. Shame it just bounces back and reflects so badly on people like us, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
