Use of CORE measures

We are continually addressing ways of improving our service. Before we commence treatment and at the end of treatment we ask our clients to complete a brief questionnaire. This assists us in understanding more about our client's problems. The information from these forms is treated with strict confidentiality in accordance with the Data protection Act 1998.

Use of ORS/SRS measures

At the beginning of each session we use a brief 4 question measure called the outcome rating scale. This gives us an overview of how our client feels he or she is doing in different areas of life and how progress is going from session to session. This helps us to pick up on times when progress does not seem to be forthcoming and, always in full collaboration with our clients, we can discuss alternative possibilities when progress is not as our clients desire.

At the end of each session we use another brief 4 question measure called the session rating scale. This helps us ensure we are working together in a way that is a good fit for our clients. We privilege our clients voice and greatly value feedback.
