What is Outcomes Star?

Embedding outcomes measurement and learning within person-centred practice through sector-wide tools, training, software and advice  

More than measurement

Outcomes Stars embed outcomes measurement within person-centred support.

By making change visible, the Outcomes Star approach enables services to: 

    • consistently understand, evidence and improve the impact of their work 
    • provide holistic, person-centred and enabling support through collaborative and relational practice

Will Outcomes Star be right for my service?

Before exploring our Stars and the approach behind them, you first need to know if Outcomes Star is best suited for your service delivery setting. Outcomes Star will be applicable for your service if:

You have ongoing, regular one-to-ones with your service users

Measuring outcomes is an integral part of that ongoing journey

Measuring progress towards an outcome is as important as measuring outcomes met

You want to measure progress on all or most areas of the Star

The data you collect will be used for ongoing learning and service improvement
