How Supported Independent Living works in SkillScorer
Score
Each support worker in a service is scored on the Supported Independent Living skills in the Skills Matrix: tap a cell, type a score, and it saves itself.
Compare
Rank support workers, compare two side by side, or compare your services against each other to see exactly where the strengths and gaps are.
Track
Scores are kept year after year, so you can see who is improving and which Supported Independent Living skills need attention. Reports also follow each team leader's service.
