The purpose of this tool is to assist technical support practitioners to closely track and monitor the progress of residential care services transitions they are involved in. It can be used as a workplan to guide the implementation of a transition strategy, allowing practitioners to identify relevant transition activities, set progress-related goals, and monitor progress against those goals. It links directly to the Phases of Transition Interactive Diagram, an interagency tool that provides an evidence-based framework for transitions. The suggested activities and key milestones outlined in the Phases of Transition Interactive Diagram have been integrated into the Transition Monitoring Tool to establish a baseline for good practice.
The Transition Monitoring Tool guides users in selecting transition activities that align with their specific strategy and context. It encourages them to collaborate with key stakeholders to set time-bound goals that define expected progress across the three phases of transition. By tracking progress against an industry-standard baseline that can be tailored to individual transitions and reflects the goals agreed upon by stakeholders, the tool can help ensure good practice transition while maintaining stakeholder engagement throughout the entire process.
The Transition Monitoring Tool has been developed primarily for practitioners providing third-party technical support for the transition of private residential care services. Technical support practitioners can include individuals and organizations who assist with key stakeholder engagement and onboarding for transition, strategic planning and preparation for transition, organizational change management, social work and reintegration training, and ongoing coaching and mentoring.
