Overall Score
To generate the scores for each indicator, copy the corresponding total count of the indicator from the tool and plot them in the column on Number of
YES responses. Then in the next column write the equivalent score for the number/count of YES responses using the reference guide in the succeeding
columns. The equivalent score reflects the corresponding stage of development of the child protection committee ranging from Stage 1 to 5.
To generate the Overall Score add the equivalent score and divide by 12.
