We would purchase a laptop to enable us to use when making home visits and off site meeting such as Team Around the Family, (TAF). In court situations and at schools.
A dedicated laptop will significantly strengthen our ability to work in courts, schools, remote meetings (including Teams), and directly with families. Can we measure the impact in terms of lives touched.
We can estimate the impact based on how the laptop will be used, even if exact numbers vary week-to-week. A single laptop used for casework, virtual hearings, school meetings, and family support sessions typically supports:
• Direct work with children and young people Average: 2–5 individuals per case
• Families involved in those cases Often 2–6 family members per child
• Professionals supporting each case (social workers, teachers, legal teams) 5–10 professionals per case
If the laptop enables even 1–3 cases per week, the annual reach is:
• Children supported: ~50–150
• Family members reached: ~100–300
• Professionals engaged: ~250–600
Total estimated lives touched per year: 400–1,000 individuals
