Home-Start Report

Postcode Regions
The Postcode Regions section gives you statistics of the families and family members you have supported during the time period, broken down into funded postcode areas. A family may appear more than once, for example supported then closed, as you do not want to exclude someone as being supported just because they were closed during the period as well.
Which postcodes count as funded can be set in the Funded Postcode Districts Extension Database found on the Our Services tab on your scheme's Home-Start record.
The three stages of support are counted via the statuses your referral stages are linked to:
Awaiting support
What is the criteria for a supported family?
Examples are all based on a date range of 1st April to 30th June:
- Family Being Supported contact in May - Supported
- Family Being Supported contact in May, Family Closed contact in June - Supported and closed, as they were supported during the period
- Family Being Supported contact in March, with no further recorded contacts during the period - Supported, as there have been no other contacts recorded to say the family has stopped being supported. Families may be classed as being supported "passively", where support is available if they so desire but no active support is being provided
- Family Being Supported contact in February, Family Closed contact in March - Not supported, as we stopped supporting them before the period
- Family Being Supported contact in February, Not For NDR contact in March - Supported. This effectively the same as 3
Directly Supported - families and children in this section are only counted where they have an active Case during the report period.
Family Members 18 and Under - family members in this section are all family members that are linked to supported records in the "Directly Supported" section of the table, regardless of whether they have been supported or not.
