Pathway Star
For people overcoming barriers to work
Who is the Pathway Star for?
The Pathway Star is for people who need considerable support to help them move towards work. This includes people currently facing significant barriers to work, such as health or housing problems, substance misuse, crime, domestic abuse, or household finances.
The Pathway Star helps people and the services supporting them identify progress towards key outcomes like skills, money, stability at home and confidence and aspirations, and give clarity on where to focus next.
- Are there any other Stars for people looking for work?
In addition to the Pathway Star, we have also developed the Work Star. This is for adults who are out of work or returning to the workplace.
Using the Outcomes Star approach
The Pathway Star is designed to be used as part of the Outcomes Star approach. That’s why we provide essential training and ongoing support to all licenced practitioners, so you can embed the Outcomes Star approach in your practice.
How does the Pathway Star work?
The Pathway Star covers eight key outcome areas that help people to make changes such as leaving the house more, up to the stage when they can engage in mainstream employment services where that is a realistic option, or when they have found alternatives to work if it is not realistic for them.
The Star assesses their progress towards each of the outcome areas following a five-stage Journey of Change. You and the people you support will fill out the Star together, and use it to better identify where their strengths lie and where they might ned more help, and to make plans for moving forward along the journey.
