Graded Care Profile 2

Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) is an assessment tool which helps practitioners measure the quality of care a child is receiving. The tool has been found to be effective in helping identify whether a child is at risk of neglect.

We have purchased a licence to use the tool across both North and West Northamptonshire and are working with the NSPCC to roll out the tool to frontline practitioners.

Below you will find an awareness video which details what GCP2 is and how you can assist in its roll out in Northamptonshire.

We have also created a Tea Break Guide on GCP2 which can be accessed on the link below to understand more. Below you will also find a link to the NSPCC GCP2 video which will provide you with more background knowledge on the tool. As other practitioner guidance is developed this will be avaliable here.
