The Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) is a practical tool, licenced by the NSPCC, which supports practitioners to objectively measure the quality of care provided by a parent/carer in meeting their child’s needs.
This toolkit contains support materials that are available to all practitioners and provides information about using the Graded Care Profile with families.
