AT A GLANCE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Anglicare Victoria has developed an outcomes framework specific to out-of-home care (OOHC). The framework is aligned to the Department of Health and Human Services\u2019 (DHHS) Looking After Children (LAC) developmental domains (health, emotional and behavioural development, education, social presentation, identity, self-care skills, and family and social relationships).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results from each client survey inform practice decisions about the individual client\u2019s placement planning and other, Interventions<\/span><\/strong>, The survey provides high quality data about the wellbeing of children and young people and subsequent.

The Challenge<\/h2> <\/div>\n \n
\n \n\n

Anglicare Victoria had previously developed and trialled an outcomes framework to measure the wellbeing of children and young people in its OOHC programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the initial framework tried to measure too much, took a long time for staff to complete, and led to problems with incomplete data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, they redesigned the framework with a focus on making it easy and efficient to use and embedding it within existing practice processes. David explained that they needed to make sure that relevant, Evidence-informed practice<\/span><\/strong> principles and advice are automatically included within results\/reports when the survey indicates that individual children and young people are experiencing particular difficulties.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n
