Participation Works publishes toolkit

Thursday 7 May 2009

Participation Works, a consortium of six children's charities, has published a new toolkit on evaluating participation work.

The toolkit comes in three documents: Evaluation in a Nutshell, Evaluating Participation Work - The Guide and Evaluating Participation Work - The Toolkit.

Evaluation in a Nutshell is a short guide that breaks down the evaluation process into simple steps. Evaluating Participation Work - The Guide gives guidance on the process of evaluation and how to use the tools provided. Evaluating Participation Work - The Toolkit is a compilation of sample forms and activities that can be adapted or copied to collect information during evaluation.

Mandy Douglas, head of Participation Works, said: "We are delighted to have published this fantastic new tool. We hope organisations find it useful in helping them to evaluate children and young people's participation in their projects."

Participation Works enables organisations to effectively involve children and young people in the development, delivery and evaluation of services that affect their lives.
