Evaluation of the effectiveness of support provided to Local Authorities through DfE-funded programmes

This is a joint evaluation of the Department's improvement and intervention programmes and the Partners in Practice (PiP) support for Local Authority (LA) sector improvement. The evaluation will include a multi-stage approach drawing on the methodologies successfully used in our previous evaluations. This will enable us to understand to what extent the improvement and interventions programmes and the PiP sector improvement support have had an impact on improving LA performance and, ultimately, outcomes for children. It will also enable us to compare the effectiveness of the different approaches and understand how local context affects the success or otherwise of the improvement support. Closing Date for EOI is: Friday 1st June at 5pm
