Outcomes Star™
MAST uses this evaluation tool to rigorously assess the outcomes of our work and the impact on each child’s journey.
Outcomes Star™ is a robustly tested evaluation tool that we apply throughout the PLP organisation to evidence the impact of our work. We use it to analyse outcome data at the individual, caseload and service levels and to reflect honestly on our progress.
We also hold qualitative and case-study evidence of each child’s journey. Data over the last year confirms that on all Outcome Star™ measures, MAST is outperforming the national averages for child (‘My Star’) and family (‘Family Star Plus’) evaluations, with regard to ‘total increases’ in the move towards outcomes desired by schools, children and families:
MAST (n= 336) 91%
My Star National (n=10000+) 78%
MAST (n= 210) 81%
Family Star Plus National (n=10000+) 71%
Your questions around our services
How do I access your support?
You will need to talk with your child's school to consider if a MAST request would be possible and helpful.
What might involvement with a member of your multi-agency support team, MAST, look like?
Your first meeting with a professional from MAST might be to discuss your concerns, possibly with school staff present. You might also meet a MAST professional in a meeting with others involved, where your child's needs are being discussed and a plan of support is being put together.
How quickly would a member of MAST become involved with a child?
Following a request for MAST to be involved (made by the school SENCo in collaboration with parents/carers), a quick response to school within a week will be sent and soon after this a key worker from MAST will be allocated and make contact with you and school to assess needs and plan an appropriate multi-agency response as required.
