Our workplan until December 2018 builds on and deepens our analysis of the data we have collected in our four case sites and other workstreams.

We will place particular emphasis on developing evidence-informed learning to challenge existing inequalities with a focus on outcomes.

The key issues will be centred around:

  • partnership and collaborative working
  • outcomes and evaluation
  • building community capacity
  • prevention
  • leadership

Objectives

Our objectives will bring together the learning from across our programme of work.

They have been designed to also allow us to explore how practices such as leadership, partnership, integrated learning and workforce development intersect.

They have been developed to ensure that policy and practice are informed by the best available research evidence.

The 13 objectives are:

  1. What works in prevention
  2. Place-based approaches to public service reform

  6. Working with capabilities and outcomes
  7. Scrutiny and inspection – scrutiny for improvement
