Intended for those who wish to pursue the wider issues involved in constructing outcome measures in child care. The book explores the elusive concept of outcome in work with children and provides a theoretical foundation for the development of further research on outcome measures in other fields. It is part of the "Looking After Children" series, designed to meet the requirements of the Children Act 1989. The series also includes "Assessment and Action Records", "Guidelines for Users of the Assessment and Action Records", and "Assessment and Action Records: A Programme for Constructing a Computer Database".
