Measure what changes — not simply how many people start a job.
RRS is building an outcomes framework that follows the journey from recovery and readiness through sustainable employment and retention.
Four levels of measurable outcome.
During the pilot, RRS will build an evidence base across candidate, employment, employer and wider community outcomes. Published figures will be based on verified programme data rather than projections presented as achieved results.
Candidate outcomes
Work-readiness, confidence, skills development, attendance, engagement and successful completion of supported work experience.
Employment outcomes
Interviews, job offers, employment starts and 30/60/90-day and longer-term retention.
Employer outcomes
Candidate suitability, attendance, satisfaction, retention and willingness to recruit another RRS candidate.
Community outcomes
Progression from treatment to employment, reduced employment barriers, increased economic participation and reduced stigma.
Transparent programme measures.
Reach
Candidates referred, candidates accepted, treatment partners, employer partners and supported opportunities.
Progress
Readiness assessments, employment plans, barriers addressed, placements started and structured check-ins completed.
Sustainability
Employment starts, 30/60/90-day retention, longer-term progression and employer willingness to recruit again.
Community benefit should be visible and accountable.
RRS is being established as a CIC. As the organisation develops, its community-benefit reporting will be designed to show who was supported, what changed, what was learned and where improvement is still required.
Pilot first. Publish verified outcomes next.
The website will not present unverified pilot targets as achieved social impact. Baselines, definitions and reporting periods will be documented as the programme moves into live delivery.
