Course Description
The Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) is an NSPCC strengths based assessment tool that uses a graded scale to measure the levels of care being provided for a child where neglect is an issue.
It as an evidenced based tool that can help families understand their child’s needs and create conversations that can lead to positive change and progress. Please have a look at the Graded Care Profile 2 video posted to the NSPCC’s YouTube. This can be found below.

GCP2 Application Form
Neglect is a priority area of work for Plymouth Safeguarding Children Partnership with this type of harm being the largest reason why children are receiving statutory support and on child protection plans in the city. We know assessing and measuring neglect can be really difficult, it can be complex, intergenerational, open to professional de-sensitisation, subjective and prone to bias.
GCP2 will help create a shared language relating to neglect and improve confidence in decision making from early help to child protection.
Attendees should already have a good understanding of neglect, it’s definitions, concepts, signs, indicators and impact prior to attending GCP2 training. We offer a full day training course on neglect as part of our multi agency training programme so if you feel this would be beneficial for you please go to PSCP Neglect Training Course
