C-BERSS Gets The Thumbs Up
An independent review of C-BERS has confirmed that we’re providing “an excellent service” to former child migrants while offering a few pointers here and there as to how we can do even better.
The review noted that more than 400 clients have used C-BERS in the seven years since we were established. (This is about half the original client group if all were still living, needed and wanted to use the services we provide). The wide range of services provided was assessed as being of “high quality” and designed to meet the changing needs of our clients. However, the review recommended that there was a need for ongoing evaluation of our client services and a more systematic means for identifying client needs into the future so that we are better able to plan for the longer term.
About half the C-BERS budget goes directly to clients to pay for such things as reunification travel, 30% goes towards employing our counseling and administration staff, while the rest is used to pay for rent, communication and service development costs.
