Dear Dr. MEL: From the MEL courses, I’ve learned a lot about monitoring. Could you please describe the potential monitoring target group? Are professionals like judges or psychiatrists the intended audience for the monitoring of the Post-Release Supervision Board’s services, for instance?

Always feel welcome.

I appreciate you providing these details.

The social service administrator is the intended audience for program monitoring because feedback from monitoring can alert a social service administrator when a program's implementation starts to deviate from its intended course. Therefore, you could say that they are the target group of monitoring if the services are overseen by the Post-Release Supervision Board.
