How can you demonstrate whether your services are delivering improved outcomes for children and young people?

[Alison J Stevens]

Dear Alison Jayne Stevens Value-conference. How can you demonstrate whether your services are delivering improved outcomes for children and young people? Demonstrating positive outcomes is not only key to the success of your service but crucial to enhancing the lives of children and young people in your area. Without the right tools it is difficult to measure and assess outcomes that reflect the lived experience of the children and young people involved. Join your peers at Children & Young People Now‘s annual conference to discover the practical tools and methods to successfully define, measure and evidence outcomes that reflect the tangible impact that your service is having.
