Modifying RECOLLECT
The RECOLLECT Checklists and Fidelity Measure were developed for use in building-based Recovery Colleges in England, and minor modifications are permissible for use in other settings. Example reasons for modification include use with online-only Recovery Colleges or use with colleges for specific populations such as young people or forensic settings. Any modification should keep scores as comparable as possible with other versions. To achieve this aim, the structure, dimension names and scoring cannot be changed. Any modifications should not introduce new concepts, and should as far as possible simply translate the existing concept to the local setting. Example minor modifications include changing specific terms to local variants, e.g. ‘trainer’ to ‘facilitator’, ‘prospectus’ to ‘syllabus’, ‘further education’ to ‘continuing education’ and ‘NHS’ to ‘health services’. Please send us a PDF copy of your modified version which we will make available as a download in our ‘Download RECOLLECT versions’ section below, and ensure to describe any modifications when reporting findings.
