UPDATE NO 179 15 January 2016

Early Help

The Early Help Group has published its Evaluation Framework (draft) and accompanying Literature Review

The evaluation framework is aimed at all those working in early help.  It therefore includes all partners across the continuum of work: Local Authority services, Health Trusts, early years and childcare providers, schools, the Police; voluntary sector organisations; and LSCB Chairs and partners etc.

It is recognised that LSCB’s have a responsibility to monitor the impact of early help services on children and families and assess the effectiveness of the early help offer, Working Together (2015).  It is hoped that this evaluation framework can be used for that purpose.
