SCORE Consortium
The service continues its involvement as a founding member of the SCORE Consortium, contributing to the collection of outcome measures for University Counselling Services. SCORE, which means Student Counselling Research Outcomes and Evaluation (SCORE), aims to establish a shared routine outcomes database for University and College Counselling Services. Cambridge is part of six founding universities: Birkbeck University of London, Keele University, King’s College London, University of Sheffield and University of Oxford. The project partnership also involves consultancy expertise from Professor Michael Barkham & Dr Emma Broglia (University of Sheffield). SCORE receives support from the BACP research team and is a collaborative project between BACP and UKCP, two of the main professional bodies for counsellors and psychotherapists.
