Vera's New Performance Indicator System Helps Organization Measure their Capacity to Serve Survivors with Disabilities!
|
|
The Center on Victimization and Safety at the Vera Institute of Justice is pleased to release a practical tool that uses performance indicators to help providers easily measure
organizational capacity to serve survivors of domestic and sexual violence who have disabilities.
This first of its kind tool provides you with a practical way to measure your organization against field standards for serving survivors with disabilities, allowing you to capture
a point in time snapshot of your overall commitment
and capacity in this area. It is also designed to help you track your organization's progress towards specific goals and refine your capacity-building efforts to better meet those
goals if used over time. Using this tool requires little to no experience in conducting evaluations and draws upon information your organization likely already possesses. Step-by-step guides
have been created to help providers implement this tool in each of the following types of organizations:
-
Disability organizations
-
Rape crisis centers
-
Dual domestic violence/sexual assault organizations
-
Residential domestic violence programs
-
Non-residential domestic violence programs
To access these guides, please visit the
