Sample Tools
A variety of outcomes focused tools have been contributed by services implementing outcomes based working. These include tools for assessment, care/support planning and review with examples relating to both people using services and unpaid carers. Earlier review tools as contained in the UDSET report were based mainly on narrative responses, whereas more recent sites have included qualitative and quantitative elements for ease of data analysis and management.

Garvald have produced Talking Points tools which have been designed specifically for people with learning disabilities. These forms and guidelines are draft versions. They are being trialled in Garvald Edinburgh's Day Service reviews from January 2010. The aim has been to embed the principles and guidelines of the Outcomes Approach in a way that is appropriate to Garvald Edinburgh's review structure and the service that it provides.
