Family-centred Practice
Staff involved: Michael Bentley

SACHRU was contracted by Novita Children's Services to provide an external evaluation of the family-centred practice of Novita Children's Services using the Measure of Processes of Care survey instrument.

The two objectives of the project are

• to assess the family-centred behaviours of the Novita Children's Services by its client families using the Measure of Processes of Care (MPOC) self-reported measure, and
• to assess the experiences and behaviours of therapy, rehabilitation and options staff at Novita Children's Services using the Measure of Processes of Care for Service Providers (MPOC-SP) self-reported measure.

The survey is being conducted using a mail-out questionnaire.

This evaluation is currently underway and the report for the project is expected to be completed by the end of October 2004.
