The accuracy achieved by the two methods was statistically analysed with the results shown below. The correlation between indicative budget and support costs is much higher for the FACE RAS and over 90% of the variation in costs is explained by the FACE model, compared to around 50% by the SSAQ, showing that the FACE tool captures the information relevant to accurately predicting costs but the SSAQ does not. Accuracy of RAS – all cases £ per point FACE Correlation between IB and support package costs (all cases) 0.73 0.96 Variation in costs explained by assessed needs (all cases) 53% 92% It is often proposed that the ‘£ per points method’ is most accurate for low and medium need cases.
