Abstract: The Key Developmental Assets (KDA) online recording tool allows carers to record the progress of the child by tracking each of 20 assets; the achievement of which contribute to the young person maturing into a healthy and socially competent adult. Research shows a correlation between the attainment of specified developmental competencies and achievement of a well-grounded adulthood. The KDA tool enables the tracking of 20 assets (eight internal to the child and 12 external) which each represent one of these competencies. Primary grounding theory of KDA includes: - Trauma. - Resilience and belonging. - Developmental Care for children and young people. - Attachment. - Adult Learning and Transfer of Learning. - Strength-Based Fostering. The KDA online system is user friendly and can be accessed by web based portal or smart phone application. The reporting features of KDA range across a spectrum of functions, from measuring the progress of the individual to potentially evaluating the impact of a service on large population groups. KDA recording has been in use for some years throughout the Core Assets Group in the UK, USA, Europe and Australasia.
