What do we mean by ‘inclusive’ evaluation?
Evaluation methodologies, strategies, tools which include people with disability in partnership – where they have a meaningful role in determining:
The way evaluations are structured/developed
The methods which underpin evaluations
The people who are included (and excluded) from consultation and engagement, and how they are engaged
How data is analysed, and who analyses it
What happens with evaluation data and reports
