CYP Now’s annual Evaluation, Evidence & Impact conference on Wednesday 20th March will share leading-edge practice and research across a range of services. Our inspiring speakers will highlight the latest methods, key challenges and practical tips to help demonstrate your impact in improving outcomes for children, young people and families. The conference will enable you to:
• Understand what the emergence of AI means for the evaluation of children’s and young people’s services
• Become an evidence-based organisation through better data use, and through creating a culture of evaluation
• Involve young people in evaluation to breathe new life into your impact and evaluation processes
• Understand what factors influence access to mental health services for young people involved with social care
• Use system mapping in children’s services research, which helps visualise factors involved in complex issues and how they are connected
• Implement a theory-based impact evaluation rather than traditional economic methods, which can be better suited to projects working with small numbers of people
• Take a place-based approach to systems change and data-informed decision making
• Explore data use and outcomes tracking in children’s social services • Use data around adverse childhood experiences to plan and evaluate support for families
