Description
This small-scale research project was initiated for a variety of strategic and programmatic goals. Survey questionnaires were distributed to Year 4 and Year 5 students across 10 schools in Hampshire and West Berkshire that are Go Givers users.
Go Givers is entering its third year of implementation in 2009/10. This stage of programme evolution calls for a robust monitoring and evaluation framework to be institutionalised within the programme. There is an imminent need to diversify funding avenues beyond the Cabinet Office, and thus to have measures of effectiveness beyond school recruitment numbers. The need to demonstrate outcomes is heightened in the current financial climate.
In the spirit of the Go Givers vision of promoting opportunities for participation for primary aged pupils, as well as a growing culture of participation and consultation of service users in programme design and delivery expected from prospective funders, it is only fitting that Go Givers pioneers efforts to incorporate children’s voices to demonstrate outcomes, as well as to inform programme design and implementation. This exploratory research project represents a step towards this goal. The survey is designed less to evaluate outcomes or gather feedback about Go Givers resources, than it is intended to inquire into the concerns of children.
