Are you trying to better support families more effectively and efficiently?
Our evaluation team can help you to explore and understand what is working and how to build on this to improve outcomes for families – whether this be an intervention, a pathway or whole system.
We design and implement flexible, mixed-method evaluation approaches that blend qualitative and quantitative methods to determine whether a program works, how it works, why it works, and where it can work best. Our partnership approach means we work with you to deliver appropriate, bespoke approaches for all types of evaluation, including quantifying outcomes, impact and cost effectiveness.
We are highly skilled in undertaking primary research with families, exploring case files, reviewing practice and interviewing family members. Our practical experience means we can spot gaps in practice that others may not, and have a clear sense of what is achievable for families.

Our understanding of the enablers and challenges in multi-agency systems enables us to make realistic recommendations for systems change and ultimately improve outcomes for families.
