Learning from Innovation – A summary of lessons learned from the children’s social care Innovation Programme

Foundations has reviewed the evaluation reports of individual interventions funded by the Department for Education’s children’s social care innovation programme. We have highlighted key learnings across a number of themes, with a focus on the enablers and barriers to making change:

• Set-up and management of service design, development and testing
• Intervention design
• Supportive interactions
• Evaluation.

These insights may be helpful to any practice leaders, commissioners, and funders wanting to introduce new interventions to local areas, as well as to evaluators researching these changes.
