Abstract
This document reports on the fi ndings of the Meitheal and Child and Family Support Networks (CFSN) Process and Outcomes Pilot Study. This study was carried out between October and November 2016 to evaluate the appropriateness and ‘ease of use’ of the proposed scales for the overall Process and Outcomes Study. Data was collected from children, young people, and families already engaged in Meitheal. They were asked to provide feedback on the design, content, and comprehension of the tools. Lead Practitioners attended a training session on how to use the scales and were then asked to provide feedback on their overall experience of using the scales with families they were already working with. The research team analysed the scale feedback forms to select the most suitable scales to be included in the overall study
