Graded Care Profile 2
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.
Background Effectiveness
GCP2 has been found to be reliable and valid. It can be used in the knowledge that it has sound psychometric properties, and is a reliable and valid assessment tool in aiding practitioners in the assessment of child neglect. – Ref Johnson R, GCP2 Reliability and Validity NSPCC 2015

What the research said
Strengths of the GCP
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.
• In presence of carer• In absence of carer
• Stimulation• Approval• Disapproval• Acceptance
• Carer• Mutual engagement
• Nutritional• Housing• Clothing• Hygiene• Health

GCP2 Areas
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.

GCP2 has enabled practitioners and parents to respond effectively by identifying what intervention or support is required in order to address areas of concern. As a consequence the plans are smart and robust and the families are engaging with the multi – agency support offered; there is evidence improvements are being made. – C Fletcher Sefton
