Assessment of Children Affected by Domestic Abuse (CADA) Project Evaluations and Development of Evaluation Framework

About

Home Office awarded a contract to Early Intervention Foundation for the assessment of current evaluations of the nine projects funded by the Children Affected by Domestic Abuse (CADA) fund and the development of an evaluation framework for future evaluations.

The CADA fund, established under Section 56 of the Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Act 2004, supports services for children affected by domestic abuse in England and Wales since 2018/19.

The projects aim to provide high-quality support and advice, increase awareness, reduce harm, and reduce the prevalence of domestic abuse.

The contract, valued at £20,000, requires the provider to understand the national landscape for services to children affected by domestic abuse and the barriers faced by local authorities and organisations in service provision and evaluation.
