ASSET can help deliver Pathways to Work

CHL has been working with Supported Employment agencies for more than 10 years and more recently with dozens of Workstep providers.

Using CHL’s unique ASSET (Access System For Supported Employment and Training) those organizations can manage Client records; progress and reminders so that no key data is overlooked and no key dates are missed. ASSET automatically generates Workstep and Pathways forms and even monitors and reports upon soft outcomes.

ASSET is the foremost supported employment system developed in the UK and is now fully online. All staff, wherever they are based, can update client records, securely, as long as they have an internet connection.

In our customers own words :

“As a Workstep provider we have been using the ASSET system, and find it a very easy system to navigate. It has been really beneficial to have a system that can be used to get up to date management information instantly. When required, a very helpful support service is available which is most appreciated.”
Gill Collins from Lancashire County Council

“I would highly recommend CHL and ASSET. The beauty of ASSET is that CHL have the ability to tailor the software to incorporate any ideas or suggestions you may have so it can be adjusted to exactly meet your requirements.
ASSET is extremely user friendly and has a wealth of options to improve statistical reporting within an organisation. It has made the administration of our JC+ contract (Workstep) much simpler and we now find that the figures we are producing are reliable and consistent.
The support that CHL offer for ASSET is exceptional. They deal with any issues promptly and happily offer advice even if it is for something basic and just us being thick! I would recommend them without hesitation.”
Karen Geddes of Shelforce, Birmingham

“ASSET Online enabled Meridian East staff, who were conducting outreach work across a wide area, to access all their client details from any web-accessible computer, without the need to install expensive additional computer networks. It meant that Meridian East could give all staff immediate access to the information they needed to provide and monitor an effective service.”
Rebecca Marr , Meridian East “

May 2008 : VOCAL NSW, CHL’s first Australian site.

Taryn Stubbs (B Psych), Victim Support Specialist, Victims of Crime Assistance League, New South Wales is delighted to announce that they are now up and running with CHL’s Victim Referral System (CVRS).

After a very detailed assessment of the CVRS trial version VOCAL confirmed that CVRS would meet all of their needs and, with some enthusiasm, made the decision to proceed. Clearly, operating across two hemispheres made the process a bit more interesting but the management team at VOCAL were nonetheless convinced that CVRS was the way forward.

Taryn Stubbs said :
It is with confidence that we make the decision to go with CVRS. Our dealings with CHL have been positive, constructive and friendly. CHL were able to modify the CVRS and individualise the system to suit our service. We are very excited about the use of CVRS and about the relationship we have already established with CHL."

Jim Moores, Managing Director, CHL said:
‘CVRS has been developed in the UK for Greater Manchester and Northumbria Victim Support and it was apparent, from an early stage of discussions with VOCAL, that it was also very close to their needs. CHL is able to offer a high degree of flexibility and has made some adjustments for VOCAL as well as importing all of their data from VOCAL’s existing database. I am really pleased that VOCAL have chosen CVRS. Taryn has liaised very closely with myself and Tony France – the lead developer at CHL – and we are confident that it will do the job from day one. It has been a most enjoyable experience and we are all looking forward to a long and fruitful relationship.‘
