What is it?

OutReach is a management tool that allows for individual assessment of any the clients or projects within your youth and community service, but also the generation of management level statistics that will help form the direction of your projects, sessions and services.

Who uses it?

Overview

OutReach is far more than a software package for collating statistics for Youth and Community services. It’s an operational tool that can help measure the impact of your work by generating quantative management data to capturing qualitative individual statements of progression and achievement.

The range of innovative caseload management features in our web based solution such as the assessment toolkit, personalised home pages and protection for sensitive information means that your information is always available and secure.

The online caseload files you build for each client provide an excellent resource to help practitioners to deliver a co-ordinated, continuous service. And because everyone updates a single live database online, all of your users have access to up-to-the-minute information, without the need for replication or consolidation of data.

Our developers have worked closely with practitioners delivering a wide variety of youth
Work, producing a system which covers all service activities, requires a minimum of data entry and administers all of your statistical returns and MI.

So when you can measure it, you can manage it. As your information is compiled from individual caseload files, it is fully auditable and – once you have identified a pattern - the underlying factors can be analysed in detail. By having the ability to produce MI and spots trends within the community, OutReach can help workers design their delivery to drive the statistics – not the other way around.

By empowering users from Youth Services to Community Learning and Development Departments with the information to critically evaluate their performance, the pressure of collating data for inspections and audits can be massively reduced.

By putting the young person at the heart of the youth work, OutReach supports the front line practitioners with day to day tracking functionality of hard and soft outcomes in the community but enables the compiling of MI for the management of a service that needs to collect and share data securely.

OutReach is fully compatible with the ‘Blue Cylinder’, CogniSoft’s consensual data sharing solution for any ISA project in England, Scotland or Wales. Highlight concerns are shared by a standard assessment (CAF), so concerns for children in your area can be quickly resolved, or passed onto the correct agency for a successful and efficient outcome.
