The Pathway Star points the way for person-centred employment services
Do you work with service users who are unemployed or struggling with barriers to employment? The Pathway Star is an Outcomes Star specifically designed for employment services and to support people in overcoming significant barriers to unemployment. The Pathway Star is “a conversation” which helps people to get the support they need so that they are “more able to engage with it and see where they are now and how their lives can improve.” In this blog we explore the importance of the Pathway Star and how it differs from the Work Star.

Introducing: The Planning Star for use with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children
Over the last year, we have been working closely with Pathways to Independence UK and the South East Strategic Partnership for Migration, and we are excited to announce that the Planning Star is now available for use. The Planning Star is a vital new tool for organisations working with unaccompanied asylum-seeking children. Initially designed for use with young children, this Star is also suitable for use with a range of ages, including the very young and those who are supported into their twenties. The Planning Star may also be used with children or young people who have come to the UK to settle with relatives.

Introducing: The Preparation Star for living well, right to the end
The Preparation Star is a brand-new Outcomes Star, designed for both collaborative completion between a keyworker and service user and for self-completion and internal reflection by individuals. The Preparation Star has been specifically created to support individuals who are in hospice care, or nearing end of life, but can also be completed at any life stage. This Star helps to facilitate difficult conversations about areas such as pain management and treatments, advance wishes, legal and practical aspects as well as relationships and care and dignity, among others.
