The oversight visits to the projects funded by the department showed that these projects have had positive impact in the lives of the people. Through the use of Home Community Based Care (HCBC) Workers the services of the department were able to reach the people in the most rural areas. Furthermore, the projects not only contributed to the well being of families, they contributed to the department's response to the government's goal of job creation, especially for youth and women. The Committee also found that the Isibindi Model implemented by the National Association of Child and Youth Care Workers (NACYCW) provided a good model for the implementation of child and youth care services.
