How evaluation can help
What is evaluation?
Evaluation can help you to consider what works, what doesn’t work and how things can be improved. Definitions for evaluation have a common theme of judging or comparing the worth of something.
There are different types of evaluations, ranging from simple service evaluations to complex research projects. Each evaluation requires a different approach depending on its purpose, evidence base, stage of development, context, resources and timescales.
