Evaluation programs for children and families: Insights from a men sustaining change program evaluation | AFIS

Professionals in child and family services work to make a meaningful difference for the families they support. While the impact of their everyday work is often visible, evaluations can provide a clearer understanding of the difference their work is making, and for whom, as well as identifying areas that can be improved.

The Evidence and Evaluation Support team at the Australian Institute of Family Studies has put together a four-part webinar series to share examples of evaluative practice and ideas for collecting and using evidence in the context of Australian child and family services.

In this session presenters Stephanie Beckwith, Senior Research Officer in the Evidence and Evaluation Support team, sits down with Chez Leggatt-Cook, Research and Knowledge Translation Manager, Uniting Care and Joanne Smith, Local Service Manager, Uniting Care, to discuss the evaluation of Uniting Care’s Men Sustaining Change program.
