We were commissioned by Islington Council to evaluate its Early Help Family Support Services across their Children’s Centres, Families First and Islington Families Intervention Team (IFIT) teams.
Method:
The method was predominantly qualitative in nature. We carried out:
Work was completed on time (March 2015) and within budget and the evaluation deepened their understanding on where and how the strategy is making a difference and informed the development of the next phase of the Early Help Strategy.
We were particularly impressed with the range of skills and experience across the team and the way they liaised with family members and professionals. Also, the regular communication and management of the process. The team were very flexible and the report was well written in plain English which we will be using to inform our service development and practice.
