Talking Futures: Impact and Evaluation

You only know your activity for parents is worthwhile if you can see the difference it makes. Our guides to evaluation will help you measure its effectiveness. Why evaluate parental engagement? Here are some ways that evaluation helps: 

• Increasing impact: you can see what is and is not working in order to improve. 

• Internal accountability: you can report to school or college leaders and the governing body. 

• External accountability: evidence can support external reporting, including under the new Ofsted framework.
