A New Solution to a Consistent Challenge
Outcome measurement has become a requirement for child, youth and family service providers throughout the world with service providers increasingly required to demonstrate accountability and achieve outcomes associated
with personal resilience, as well as addressing funding and policy targets.
With OTM the Solution is here.
To date few attempts have been made
to systematically monitor and report on
developmental outcomes that children
and young people achieve during their
stays in out-of-home care.
Outcomes that Matter©, also referred
to as OTM, is a new and innovative
web-based solution providing real time
and confidential recording by carers of
observations and commentary specific to
each individual child or young person.
Developed by Leon Fulcher, PhD of
New Zealand with Thom Garfat, PhD of
Canada, Outcomes that Matter is closely
aligned with the values and principles of
the Purposeful Use of Daily Life Events
training and foundation principles which
underpin a contemporary Child and Youth
Care approach and European traditions
of Social Pedagogy
