The Department for Education (DfE) have commissioned Sheffield Hallam University and the Ecorys partnership to deliver a programme of research for the Family Hubs Evaluation Innovation Fund.
The evaluation aims to:
• Provide an overall assessment of the evaluated family hub models, including service effectiveness, outcomes, impact, and value for money.
• Establish systems for tracking family outcomes and service trajectories longitudinally, accounting for a wide range of contextual and implementation factors.
• Determine the added value of the hub approaches over and above pre-existing models, and to understand what works, for whom, how, and why.
• Document the lived experiences of children and families as they interact with services, including families with multiple and complex needs; and to gain a deep understanding of the relationships between participation and co-production, and service effectiveness and outcomes
• Build local capacity for self-evaluation and develop replicable toolkits and training for wider adoption by hubs country wide.
