Models and frameworks - phase 2

The SSIA commissioned Cordis Bright to carry out a review of current models and frameworks in regards to interventions with children and families.

This report on the second phase of our work provides a 'deep dive' into identified examples.

Models and frameworks - phase 1

August 2015

The SSIA commissioned Cordis Bright to carry out a review of current models and frameworks in regards to interventions with children and families.

The first phase of the review was to compile a resource which outlines those approaches that have an evidence base and are potentially effective. Each model or framework review includes: the name of the intervention, a description of what it is, effectiveness rating, audience, age range, tier, outcomes and cost/value for money. They are also organised by the continuum of need.
