Rate your Service

For your leaving care service to meet the National Standards in Leaving Care, there are a number of criteria that it needs to meet with specific requirements that it needsthe service needs to achieve or to put in place. To rate your service against these standards, download the self assessment tool here.

To open and use the tool you must have Microsoft Excel – full instructions are given on the first page, called’ How to use this tool’. The tool has a scoring system, which gives your service a percentage rating for how well it meets each standard, and a score across all 8 standards. You can print off the results in table and chart form. Saving the document every time you have finished will preserve your score for the next time. You can answer any number of questions at your own pace and come back to it later.

There are links within the self assessment tool to the National Standards in Leaving Care and to the Practice Database section of this website and other useful resources relevant to the question you are answering.   

Remember – Don’t forget to save the tool before you close it, otherwise you will have to start again!
