6 What is the Common Approach?
7 What is the Common Approach? The Common Approach is a framework to help professionals in first contact with children better discuss families and children's needs. Its aim is to help identify needs early, recognise and build on families strengths and capacity, and enable a range of informal and formal supports that will improve the child s wellbeing. The ultimate aim is to prevent child abuse & neglect

11 Where did CAARS come from? Inverting the Pyramid (2008) www.
12 Following "Inverting the Pyramid The Australian Government (FaHCSIA) partners with ARACY CAARS Taskforce convened Tasked to develop CAARS approach Research, consultation and development of Toolkit Endorsed by the CAARS Taskforce in June Commencement of formative evaluation in 4 locations Conclusion of formative evaluation. Move to implementation and outcomes evaluation 2013 Measured scale-up of CAARS with interested organisations
13 The Common Approach Toolkit The Wheel provides a visual and holistic view of a child s or young person s life. It covers six broad domains of wellbeing physical health, mental health and emotional wellbeing, relationships, material wellbeing, learning and development and safety. The young people s questionnaire is targeted at young people aged 12 and over. It is intended to act as a conversation prompt rather than a formal screening or assessment. The questionnaire for parents and carers asks respondents to think about the wellbeing of their children and also focuses on the six domains of wellbeing.
14 The 'wheel' For use during a conversation with a child/family. Reference points for practitioners include conversation prompts, e.g.: Does the child seem confident and comfortable with parents/carers? Does the child seem calm and peaceful? Does this child s immediate family seem to be coping? Do they appear to enjoy being a family? Do any parents/carers and siblings have a diagnosed mental health problem or symptoms?

24 Key process findings Highly visual engaging for clients Helps families identify own strengths and needs Puts the wellbeing of children at the centre of discussions Broadens the conversation Gives permission for practitioners to explore difficult topics When clients are distracted with their own story the CAARS tool is an important visual tool that helps the client focus on the child
25 Case Study You know, it is always about me, about my problems. I liked that this looked at it from the family, from the kid s view. It looked at things I can do to improve life for the whole family. It wasn t just about me.
26 Using system change theory to help implement CAARS
27 Barriers to implementation Systemic factors within practitioners workplaces, rather than CAARS tools themselves, which can prove a barrier to successful implementation. Use of systems change theory has also been applied to try to understand how the system in which CAARS operates may affect the implementation of CAARS. What is clear is a need for supported implementation and integration with existing systems and requirements. Just buying the tools doesn t work
28 Enablers to implementation Address as far as possible the structural factors and barriers to uptake, including supporting practitioners and organisations to build relationships and partnerships with other local services. Encourage & enable local cross-sectoral / professional collaboration; Allow time for the development of a shared approach, facilitating real culture change; Utilise the strengths of CAARS while still meeting the data collection and other requirements of organisations; Include simple rules for the implementation, encourage small wins and utilise systemic action research to build and maintain momentum and real learning.
29 Higher intensity coaching & support implementation model initiated
30 Fiona Hilferty, Research Fellow, Social Policy Research Centre Results from SPRC Evaluation
31 Trial sites NSW Interrelate, Lismore Family dispute resolution, family counselling, parenting programs, schools, children s contact centre, family law solicitors, Brighter Futures, early intervention services Victoria Gippsland Community Health Centre, Gippsland Maternal and child health nurses, intake, ChildFIRST, family violence, youth services WA Rockingham-Kwinana Division of General Practice (Perth South Coast Medicare Local) Community nurses, psychologists, youth health service, young parents program SA Northern Connections, Northern Adelaide Children s centre, Headspace, hospital social workers, schools, mental health clinicians, youth workers, child care, child and family health centre
32 Data Sources Monthly site reports submitted online to the CAARS Champions community; Observational data and recorded notes collected during teleconferences and other meetings; Interviews with site facilitators, practitioners using and not using the tools and key project staff from ARACY.
33 Practitioners views Highly visual engaging for clients Helps families identify own strengths and needs Puts the wellbeing of children at the centre of discussions Broadens the conversation Gives permission for practitioners to explore difficult topics When clients are distracted with their own story the CAARS tool is an important visual tool that helps the client focus on the child
34 Barriers to implementation Systemic factors within practitioners workplaces, rather than CAARS tools themselves, were often a barrier to successful implementation. What is clear is a need for supported implementation and integration with existing systems and requirements. Just buying the tools doesn t work. Some practitioners not willing to take on an expanded role in child protection actively avoided engaging in discussions of sensitive issues with children and families.
35 Key results Variable picture of implementation in diverse sites however feedback on materials was overwhelmingly positive, especially regarding the wheel. The trial highlighted great flexibility in use. Most frequently used as an instrument for initial internal assessment. Most frequently used by secondary service practitioners who felt competent in engaging families in conversations around support needs. It was most difficult to engage the health and school sectors. Use of CAARS by specialist staff in schools show creativity and promise.

37 Driving The Common Approach Forward

39 Progress Moving away from CAARS to The Common Approach Implementation of The Common Approach in Family Mental Health Support Services How the Common Approach is working for Interrelate The Implementation of The Common Approach in the community sector
40 The Common Approach & FMHSS The Common Approach is currently being used in the Family Mental Health Support Services funded through the Budget Providers are using The Common Approach tools to facilitate conversations with families The reporting systems have been set up around the domains so that The Common Approach is completely integrated with all practice Practitioners are applying their experience to The Common Approach in lots of creative ways, including setting up play-based activities around the domains
41 Helen Isenhour, Director Operations, Interrelate The Common Approach and Interrelate
42 The Common Approach and Interrelate Interrelate has been a leading provider of quality relationship services since Community based, not-for-profit organisation with a network of centres across metropolitan, regional and rural New South Wales. Interrelate is currently implementing The Common Approach across all the organisation
43 Benefits for the Common Approach to Interrelate Recognised that, while the organisation had good talk, systems and old habits didn t always allow for good walk While participating in the formative evaluation, Interrelate saw the opportunity to align processes with core values The Common Approach gives a framework for better intake, better servicing internally and better referrals onward
44 Supporting agencies through effective implementation
45 Supporting Agencies through Implementation
46 Costs of implementation Initial training costs : $5000 to $8000 (depending on the number of participants.) Full implementation (12 months): $28,000 to $90,000 (depending on number of practitioners requiring training, the locations of practitioners and whether there are multiple sites, and the level of adaptation required. Ongoing costs: relies on site-based Champions, ongoing costs are minimal, starting from $4,000 p.a. Can be implemented at a larger scale (e.g. State / Local area etc.)
47 Top down bottom up approach needed The Common Approach is a promising practice at a local (service) level Maximum benefits to be gained through top-down and bottom-up approach: Professional groups, State Governments, peak agencies etc. can lead change via the Common Approach Matched by implementation at grass roots / local level
