The Graded Care Profile 2 is the only authorised update of the original GCP — It is a practical tool designed to provide an objective measure of the care of children. The GCP2 model is primarily based on the qualitative measure of the commitment shown by parents or carers in meeting their children’s developmental needs.
GCP2 is an evidence based tool to help practitioners assess
when poor parenting becomes neglectful.
The tool can be used by a variety of professionals who wish to evaluate the care of a child where concerns about neglect exist.
It is estimated that 10% of all children in the UK are currently experiencing neglect. It is the single most frequent reason for children to be subject to a child protection plan or registration. There is strong evidence that the
identification and assessment of neglect presents particular
difficulties for practitioners.
The GCP2 looks at what life is like for the child. This ensures the child
is kept central to the assessment. The grades are descriptive, and measures the quality of care from 1, where the child is always first to 5, where the child is not considered.
