This week's Friday Focus is the Outcomes-focused principle!
Being outcomes-focused means making decisions about services and strategies based on the outcomes children, parents, carers and families want for themselves.
Outcomes are the positive changes and benefits experienced by children and families once agreed services, supports and strategies are in place.
By starting with the outcome in mind, decisions about the services offered are guided by what matters most to the child and their family, not assumptions about what practitioners or others think is best.
