Different versions of SCORE

• Child SCORE – for children 8 – 11 years. Child SCORE-15 was created by Tom Jewell (Jewell et al, 2013, Family Process,)
• SCORE Translations. The processes for creating culturally appropriate translated versions of SCORE-15 and listing of all currently available translations with contact details.
• Relational SCORE -  alternative adult version for adult couples, LGB people and those who may not define significant relationships by biological or marital ties. Please note that this version currently has only content validity checked with professionals in the UK with either experiences working with couples or LGB people but it needs further studies to determine its reliability, validity and clinical sensitivity. Please email us (yang.systemic@gmail.com and Peter Stratton) should you have interest in taking this further.

SCORE discussion & development

• SCORE email discussion group- for SCORE users to compare notes and solutions. We invite users to report their experiences, good and bad.  SCORE users are also invited to email project lead Prof Peter Stratton. He says, 'Knowing the range of experiences in practice will be essential as we continue to try to make the SCORE project as helpful as possible.’
