The Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) is an evidence-based tool adopted by NHS Fife to support professionals in assessing a child’s daily lived experience and evaluating the quality of care when their needs are not being met. The Fife Child Protection
Committee purchased the GCP2 license from the NSPCC, who trained 25 health professionals as GCP2 Champions to enable the implementation of the tool across the NHS Fife workforce. So far we have 330 health practitioners trained in GCP2 use.
The GCP2 is an NSPCC strengths based assessment tool that uses a graded scale to measure levels of care for a child.
It can help families understand their child’s needs and create conversations that lead to positive change and progress.
It creates a consistent approach and shared language for us in NHS Fife when responding to neglect and helps families get the right support at the right time
Anyone involved in evaluating the care of a child can use the GCP2. It can also be used by parents or carers themselves as well as young people who want to understand the care they receive from a parent or carer.
To use the tool you have to be what is called a ‘licensed practitioner.’ This means you have to be trained in the tool and how to use it.
To find out all the dates for the initial training please go to the following page: (F - NCCP) - GCP2 (Neglect tool) | Turas | Learn
If you are already trained but would like to refresh your knowledge, the dates for GCP2 Refresh training will be live from April 2026 on TURAS.
