How groups working with parents and children are evaluating their food and health work
27 August 2008
The latest publication from Community Food and Health (Scotland) is a report highlighting the first stage of a three part pilot programme commissioned by CFHS, and led by Evaluation Support Scotland to support six groups to show the impact of their work with parents and children aged 0-5 years.
All the projects deliver a range of activities that address health inequalities as well as access to healthy affordable food.
All six projects work with parents (or carers) and their children together from weaning through to pre-school with the aim of influencing and sustaining better nutrition in the home.
This report outlines why and how the Early Years Self-Evaluation Collaborative was set up, gives some examples of the current policy context that have implications on early years work, and details of the projects involved.
A summary of the evaluation process and methods used, a set of six case studies, and some top tips highlight the range of approaches used by the participating projects, and how applying evaluation processes to their work will help them provide evidence to demonstrate their effectiveness. A report on the second stage will be available in the autumn.
