About

Department For Education awarded a contract to Sheffield Hallam University for the Family Hubs Evaluation Innovation Fund, valued at £302,973.

The contract supports Family Hubs with evaluation capacity and resources through government funding, aiming to improve the quality and rigour of the evidence base on the effectiveness of existing Family Hubs delivery models.

It seeks to generate knowledge and learning for local authorities and other commissioners on factors driving service implementation, performance, outcomes, impacts, and value for money.

The initiative also aims to create a step-change in evaluation standards by showcasing good quality evaluation and generating learning and toolkits for future evaluations and service planning, as well as aiding national policymaking by building an evidence base for future government policy.
