Core Outcomes

The MSCOS model represents an interrelated set of core outcomes which operate together as the minimum required for the recovery, well-being and integration of adult survivors.

The Model demonstrates that it is helpful to consider the set in a circular format rather than in a hierarchical list.

Trauma-informed services and Long-term, consistent support wrap around the other core outcomes and continue to head outwards together from the circular set. These are both considered vital to support long-term access to all outcomes needed by survivors.

Broad icons depict the core outcomes within the circular model to permit the widest possible interpretation in relation to: Secure and suitable housing; Safety from any trafficker or other abuser, Access to medical treatment, and Access to education.

Finding purpose in life and self-actualisation is depicted with coloured arrows travelling in a range of directions. This illustrates that finding purpose and self-actualisation is a key core outcome for survivors which is highly personal and specific to each individual person.
