Reporting Requirements
The program facilitator is to submit a comprehensive final report for each offender upon completion of treatment, no later than 8 days after the offender has attended the last session.
This will include offenders who start the program but do not finish.
This report will address issues of attendance and participation, analysis of progress against need areas, level of motivation and further recommendations regarding additional risk management strategies.
Reporting of treatment gain will be based on observed behaviours and skill development during participation in the program, post-assessment results and collateral contact information. A report template will be provided by the Community Program Manager.
Each offender will be provided the opportunity to review his/her report after it is finalized.
Reports will be recorded in the computerized, Correctional Service Canada Offender Management System (O.M.S.) either by direct entry or by submission of an electronic copy of reports to the program assistant for the area office.
Reports to be completed and submitted to the CSC project authority within eight (8) federal government working days from the last group session or date of notification of offender removal from the program. As Correctional Program reports are required for decision making purposes, the timeliness of submission is of great importance. If reports are submitted late their use in decision making is compromised.
The program facilitator will video-tape program sessions as identified in training. Upon completion of the program, the facilitator will submit, to RHQ programs, video tapes and a list of program participants and any other required information.
The videotapes will be reviewed to evaluate if the program facilitator meets program delivery standards and then returned by a Regional Program Manager from Correctional Service Canada. When the video tapes are returned, the Contractor/Program Facilitator will ensure content of the video tapes is erased.
The Quality Review of Correctional Program Facilitators results in a written report that addresses:
??strengths and areas for improvement;
??certification (if applicable); and
??need for additional training or professional development.
If individual performance is judged as not meeting these standards, the Contractor will be provided with feedback and recommendations to amend the performance as necessary; at no extra cost to the Crown.
If the standards are not met, the contractor must identify a new candidate for training and service delivery.
All relevant original program related data is to remain with Correctional Service Canada. This includes but is not limited to; interview booklet and assessments, psychometric testing, completed reports.
