Bridges to Independence
2.2 Sample checklists of skills
In the table below there are five sample checklists. These have been created from a
selection taken from the main listings of skills using the skills, attributes and knowledge
which are relevant to five areas of work. Double click on one of the yellow Bridges
Project logos to open up a checklist.
To create a checklist which suits your agency’s remit for your staff to work from you can
copy and paste rows from the listings of skills into a new word document, this way staff do
not need to look through the whole listing each time they need to choose another skill.
You may wish to show your agency’s priorities by highlighting some of the skills.

The Action Plan template has been provided to assist workers
who do not have a standard assessment recording template for client
information. It should be adjusted to suit the worker’s or the
agency’s needs. The template assumes a continuing assessment
process where the baseline assessment has provided sufficient
information to shape up an initial action plan with the client.
The Baseline Assessment Framework is for recording the
young person’s details such as address, reason for referral and
consent for sharing of information.
The Workbook
to be worked on.
Coversheet is a template for entering the skills

The Record of Progress is a template for recording and
evidencing progress towards goals as well as recording milestones
The Summary of Achievement is a template used to record
case closure and skills achieved over the period of working with the
