Evaluate

In this section of the hub you will find tools and resources that focus on evaluating all aspects of reducing parental conflict support from workforce training to support, and interventions and local case studies exploring evaluation projects.

Evaluating local RPC support encompasses how progress is understood, especially in the context of improving outcomes for children, young people and families. It also considers how evidence informs and shapes local practice and how this can be developed.

Outcomes and experience focuses on how progress in reducing the impact parental conflict on children is measured, and what the experience of support is like from the perspective of families. It includes using tools like an outcomes framework – specific to reducing parental conflict – or integrating measures of conflict and its impact within wider child and family outcome frameworks.

Evaluation is about how local partners find and apply external evidence on reducing parental conflict from research and practice, as well as generating robust local evidence where there is a need to innovate.
