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
