Impact Assessments provide a user friendly tool to create a robust, honest, evidence based parenting assessment which is compiled in partnership with the family. The assessment is a time-saving, interactive, digital platform which enables both learning and assessment to take place, providing clear evidence based outcomes which enables next step planning and reports to be produced. The Impact Assessment app is easy to use, family centered and is flexible in accommodating individual needs. The assessment tools help to provide great evidence of parenting and the ability to collate information on one platform means there is more time to be spent with families and less time spent on the administrative aspects of the assessment. Impact promotes understanding of the parent under assessment, I have found other assessments to be somewhat clinical in their approach however, Impact encourages assessors to work with the family to identify areas of strength as well as areas requiring improvement. The training provided is comprehensive, thorough and there is always support available when needed. Impact Assessments is instrumental in outlining areas of parenting that require support and intervention. The software itself is intuitive and very easy to use. The app makes it easy to locate specific information for the assessment and allows me to collect quality evidence that will inform the final report. Impact Assessments promotes integrity throughout and ensures that the child’s and parent’s needs remain central to the assessment. Impact is efficient, straightforward and easy for both professionals and parents to understand. The opportunity for other professionals working with the family to upload evidence to the app really sets Impact apart from other assessments and allows for a fair and balanced evaluation of parenting skills. I would highly recommend Impact Assessments to those completing parenting assessments. ABOUT IMPACT ASSESSMENTS
