There is a video of Dr Sarah Harmon (Bexley CAMHS) at the bottom of this page.

This is a tag connecting all pages concerned with the AMBIT Outcomes Framework (including all measures that could be used by AMBIT teams). See topics and sub-topics in the Show references and info panel.

Three types of outcomes

• Service Outcomes e.g. reducing the number of young people who go to hospital, come into care or go to prision.
• Individual Outcomes e.g. reduced violence, increased pro-social activity, attending college, less depressed, better relationships etc.
• Client Satisfaction e.g. do young people like the service, do they attend sessions or activities, do they communicate with staff etc.

Barriers to outcomes measurement

• "We don't have time to add this to our workload"
• "These measures are just about performance managing ME - they will show my bosses that I am no good, they won't understand..."
• "We send these outcomes measures off, and never hear anything back - what's he point?"
• "We are asking the wrong questions! If we were asking questions I was really interested to find out about it might be different!"
