Evaluation in Action | Programme (evaluationconference.co.uk)
Practitioners who work with children, young people and families at all levels are
driven to make a real and lasting difference to people's lives. While the pandemic
has affected the way people engage with different support and services, effective
evaluation is fundamental to achieving a positive impact.
CYP Now is bringing together a range of experts and inspiring practitioners to help you
address some of the key challenges, and provide practical tips, case studies and
actionable insights to support your endeavours in improving outcomes for children,
young people and families.
Sessions relate to evaluation across the sector - from children's services, youth
services, and early help, to arts projects, wellbeing programmes, and tutoring and school
support.
Taking place online across two consecutive afternoons on 30th
and 31
st March, this
conference will also be available to delegates afterwards on demand, providing essential
learning for the entire children's workforce.
Using real-life examples, this online conference will provide
understanding of:
the value of different types of data for evaluation of children's and youth services.
how to act on data to inform strategy, influence development and refine the quality of
programmes of work.
how good evaluation can help innovation, creating new solutions to current and
emerging challenges.
the challenges of capturing reliable data to measure long-term impact.
practical tips on evaluating services run on a small scale.
ways to measure so-called 'soft outcomes' including social and emotional skills.
how community participatory research can add depth and quality to evaluation and
improvement.
the importance of listening to young people and systematic collection of feedback.
how the Covid-19 pandemic has affected the way children and families engage with
different projects and services.
insights to help services to address the mental health challenges that have emerged
for children and young people during the pandemic.
I think social workers/ care workers
need the time to research material
that can inform practice and it
seems that in todays world there is
little time afforded to the benefits of
research
