NIFTY Evaluation

The NIFTY Change Project provides tuition, consultancy, mentoring and networking support to a group of our Partner agencies wishing to develop skills and confidence in conducting and commissioning single service evaluations.

NIFTY evaluation is not just about individuals or teams conducting small-scale evaluations in isolation, it is also about beginning to develop a healthy and thriving culture of evaluation within agencies and departments.

Participants are expected to carry out an evaluation of their service, using the project to support that work. We encourage multi-agency participation for this project.

There are three Power Point presentations which describe the NIFTY evaluation process and experience. You can download them here and copy or save them to your hard drive for your own use.

This Change Project was developed jointly by research in practice and the National Children's Bureau (NCB).

Facilitators:

• Catherine Shaw, Assistant Research Director – Evaluation, National Children’s Bureau, and
• Sal Lodge, Development Officer, research in practice
