Trocmé, N. (2024). The National Child Welfare Outcome Matrix (NOM): Fundamental Information to Support Public Accountability. CWRP Information Sheet #244E. Montreal, QC: McGill University, Centre for Research on Children and Families.
This CWRP information sheet describes the development of the National Child Welfare Outcome Matrix (NOM) and the selection of its indicators. The NOM framework was designed to reflect the complex balance that child welfare authorities maintain between a child’s immediate need for protection: a child’s long-term requirement for a nurturing and stable home; a family’s potential for growth; and the community’s capacity to meet a child’s needs.
