The Strengths and Support Needs Tool (the Tool) provides a structure for communicating what is meaningful for the child and family. It should capture what matters to and for each child, informing collaborative planning between the child, the family and supporting practitioners and services.

The Tool is a simple, easy-to-use form provided as a PDF that can be completed digitally or printed out and filled in by hand.

Refer to the Framework for more information on best-practice assessment, differentiation and reporting of children's functional strengths and support needs.
