The South West RDA believes in sharing both good and bad practice, and has learnt a great deal from the SRB Programme. We don't believe we should be the only ones to have access to evaluation information, so copies of evaluations can either be downloaded by clicking on the links below, arranged in alphabetical order for ease of access. Copies can also be obtained by contacting Andy Youl on: 0117 933 0226 or e-mail: andy.youl@southwestrda.org.uk

Local evaluation for regeneration partnerships

Evaluation is concerned with assessing how well a scheme is doing/has done, in terms of its strategic aims. In addition to the routine output data that is collected throughout the lifetime of a scheme, it is vital that effectiveness and impact of the scheme is also assessed against its outcomes (e.g. impact in terms of social inclusion, community safety, health, etc) and making sure that the right job is done. Both routine quantitative data (e.g. number of sessions, number of participants), and qualitative information collated from a variety of sources, (e.g. surveys, case studies, interviews) will be required for the evaluation process and this should be considered as early as possible in the lifetime of a scheme.  
 
The South West RDA regards evaluation, which should ideally be accountable, reflective and progressive, as an integral part of the SRB process. Often undertaken in two stages, mid -term and end of scheme, the process can be an important tool in identifying learning or action opportunities, and in unifying a partnership, and as such evaluations are often utilised as a vehicle for the formation of a sound forward strategy to be followed when a scheme's SRB funding winds-down. This is in keeping with SRB policy which encourages self sustainability for schemes after grant funding ceases. In this respect, the development process can be as important as the end product.
