C-CAF
C-CAF stands for the Care Consultant Accreditation Framework. It is the first independent accreditation and regulatory body for care consultants operating in the UK's adult social care sector.
C-CAF brings trusted sector expertise. Planday helps care providers run clearer rotas, improve staffing visibility and reduce admin, so leaders and managers can focus more time on quality, people and performance.
Good care is continuous. The same familiar faces. Shifts that do not leave gaps. A team that knows exactly where to be and when.
That is harder to sustain than it should be. For too many care managers, rotas still live in spreadsheets and last-minute changes get handled through messages and calls. The operational drag is real, and it pulls people away from the floor at exactly the wrong moment.
That is why this partnership matters. Together, C-CAF and Planday can help care providers build the operational consistency that high-quality care depends on.
The Care Consultant Accreditation Framework (C-CAF) is the UK accreditation framework for care consultants, helping raise standards across the sector through recognised professional and ethical benchmarks.
C-CAF gives care providers greater confidence when engaging consultancy services, ensuring consultants are aligned to best practice and industry standards.
We're on a mission to make shift work more human.
Planday helps care providers simplify shift planning, improve visibility of staffing arrangements and reduce administrative burden.
Stop paying for unworked hours in residential care with Planday’s precise time tracking tools. Keep staffing costs under control by making sure every scheduled shift matches the hours actually worked.

Safe, effective, responsive and well-led care depends on consistent staffing and clear records. Regulators look for things like safe staffing, skill mix, current training and evidence of how gaps were handled.
When rotas, training records, timesheets and pay are easier to follow, it becomes much simpler to show who covered a shift, whether they were qualified, and how the service stayed on track.
If you want to reduce rota admin, improve day-to-day coordination and build stronger operational consistency, we’d love to show you more.
If you’re exploring how to strengthen staffing, coordination and operational consistency in care, these resources are a good next step.
