CAP is designed to make evidence collection a natural and meaningful component of the entire assessment, while ensuring that specific and sufficient types of evidence inform each of the Seven Essential Elements. The table below outlines the types of evidence that are, at a minimum, required to be used in assessing practice related to each element. Evidence collection is not limited to the minimum requirements.
