| dc.description.notes | This article gives an overview of the Family Court of Western Australia and the evaluation of the Columbus Pilot based on a multi-method longitudinal evaluation model. The evaluation used a 4-stage process to obtain data from parents in both the Pilot and comparison groups and where possible, their children. The 4 stages of data collection were: 1. Design, methodology testing, pre-programme stakeholder interviews and descriptive data collection; 2. Case mapping, relative cost and outcome analysis; 3. Interviews with Columbus parents and children and post-programme stakeholder interviews; and 4. Interviews with comparison group parents and children. It also provides a description of the Columbus process and outlines its development as an early intervention initiative aimed to achieve better outcomes for parents and their children in matters where there have been allegations of domestic violence or child abuse. Quantitative data (cost and outcome analysis) and qualitative data from interviews with stakeholders and clients suggest that the Columbus process is effective in managing such cases. Comparison with Magellan project is also made. Assessment of the Columbus Pilot found that: it has generally achieved the indicators for ‘success’ within the limitations of the client population, the programme staff and the collaboration with external service providers; the jointly chaired conferences and individualised case management approach achieved benefits for many of the parents and their children; parents’ feedback suggests that the joint conferencing promotes general positive outcomes; and it has developed into an integrated family law system. | en |
