Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) is a strengths- and evidence-based assessment tool to measure the care quality parents or carers give a child.
GCP2 helps professionals measure the quality of care provided by a parent or carer in meeting their child's needs.
Using the GCP2 assessment tool, professionals grade aspects of family life on a scale of one to five. This helps them identify areas where the level of care children receive is good and where it could be significantly improved. Professionals can then provide guidance and/or interventions, or signpost or refer on to the most appropriate supporting agency.
Using GCP2, you’ll be able to:
- Measure the quality of care being provided to children you work with;
- Identify where families require further support and whether the level of care received needs to be improved;
- Implement a constructive working relationship with families;
- Increase confidence in decision making at all levels;
- Promote multi-agency working and train professionals across agencies to use the tool – creating a common language and improving the quality of referrals.
