The aim of this course is to support practitioners and managers working in (often non-clinical) children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing settings to understand outcomes focused practice and why it is important for their organisation. Participants will understand the benefits of implementing an outcomes approach and how this could be developed at their organisation. Part of the session will cover practical aspects of choosing and using outcome and feedback measures. Participants will also be aware of the types of CORC support available and how to access this support.

This course will cover:

•     Demystifying outcomes, outcomes frameworks and outcome measures
•     The importance of developing an outcomes framework and the associated benefits
•     Types of data that are needed and why
•     Introduction to choosing and using outcome measures
•     Support to initiate robust action plans around implementing outcome and feedback measurement
