Children, Young People and Families Early Intervention and Adult Learning and Empowering Communities Fund evaluation: final report
Final report of the evaluation of the CYFEI and ALEC Fund.
Appendix 2: Self-Assessed Ratings 2016-19
The graph below presents an overview of how funded organisations rated the seven themes in 2016 and 2017. Generally, the themes that were rated highly at the start of the Fund were also rated highly in 2019, such as prevention and early intervention, and equality issues. Similarly, financial sustainability was the lowest ranked them in 2019 as it had been in 2016 – it was also the only theme to be rated lower at the time of the final evaluation than it had been at the start, albeit the decrease was minor.
The most notable change in rating was recorded in involvement in local and national groups. There was an increase in the rating of this theme from 7.1 out of 10 in 2016 to 7.8 out of 10 in 2019.
A more detailed breakdown of the survey results is shown in the table below. It presents the ratings for each specific question for 2016 and 2019.
