The intermediary organisation's comment on this graph:

'The Midlands Regional Pause Hub outcome contracts are the second iteration of outcomes contracts that support vulnerable women at risk of recurrent removals in the UK. The design of the outcomes contracts built on the learning generated by the first Pause outcomes contract that was launched in Plymouth in April of 2019. Amongst other things, one of the changes included in the Midlands Regional Pause Hub was to recognise the enrolment and completion outcomes (that were amalgamated together in the Pause Plymouth outcomes contract) as two separate outcomes in the rate card.

All outcomes contracts in the Midlands Regional Pause Hub have performed better than expected in terms of volumes and success rates. The Derbyshire outcomes contract has already reached its contract cap. Northamptonshire and Worcestershire are currently supporting their second community of women, with the outcomes from these two outcomes contracts expected to be above target.

In the Midlands Regional Pause Hub, 94% of women who start on the programme go on to complete the intervention, which is a 20% higher completion rate than in comparable fee for service delivery.'
