The ZETA scale was developed in response to a need for simplified measurement tools in social work and tools that facilitate uniform communication within multi-disciplinary teams that work in a restorative care model. The ZETA scale is a rating scale that is completed by the social worker on strength of her observations of the client system, regardless of the size of the client system. The emphasis of the ZETA is on improving the quality of services to clients

The ECO-AIP is a combined assessment framework and work protocol for Child and Youth Care facilities in rural communities that work with and care for children that have developmental delays and disabilities. The ECO-AIP framework empowers caregivers and social workers by applying knowledgeable observation and assessment practices to accurately identify and assess developmental delays in children, whist the protocol assures that routine assessments are done of children during which the framework is used. Similarly, the ECO-AIP is designed to improve service delivery quality to child clients in the CYCC.
