Fairer Futures Partnership Programme: evaluation strategy

Governance

This evaluation strategy will be overseen by a governance group of relevant policy officials chaired by the Deputy Director for Place-Based Social Justice, who will meet quarterly to review progress on evaluation. A Research Advisory Group (RAG), comprising Scottish Government and external policy and analytical stakeholders, will also be convened for individual projects within the strategy, including for the upcoming national evaluation of the expansion areas. The RAG will advise on technical aspects of the evaluation and will report to the governance group.

In addition, the FFP programme provides quarterly update reporting on delivery, data and impact – including data from the evaluation - through the child poverty governance structure. Short updates and longer focused presentations may be provided to the Child Poverty Programme Board, as requested by members.
