Doing our best Are we basing our work on evidence of best practice?
14
Overview
• What is good evidence?
• Best Practice - how are we doing?
• What are the challenges?
• Ways CES supports evidence into practice
15
‘An approach that helps people and organisations make well-informed decisions by putting the best available evidence at the heart of practice development and service
delivery’.
(Sandra Nutley, 2010)
What is ‘evidence-informed’?

18
The Why...
The puzzled practitioner?
19
What practitioners tell us…
20
What exactly are you looking for?
21
How are we doing ?
• Increasing focus across the world, including Ireland – PEIP GUI
• Commissioning of evidence reviews and ‘what works summaries’ by public policy bodies
• Practitioners more confident using evidence to strengthen their work
• The public are more informed and knowledgeable
• Researchers getting better at applying findings to practice
• More understanding of achieving better outcomes for children , families and communities
• Greater awareness of measuring the impact of our services
22
Some challenges...
• The economic climate – it’s a ‘luxury’
• Limits to the evidence –Informed approach
• Limits to research literacy amongst practitioners
• Time constraints
• The best evidence in the world will not result in better outcomes if poorly implemented
23
Some more technical challenges...
• Selecting and weighing evidence
• Contested definitions of evidence
• Research V other sources (experiential and practice wisdom
• Dearth of research in some areas
• Generalisability and transportability of research evidence can be limited (need to blend local and international)
24
For practitioners
• Focus on outcomes
• Take a broad approach to evidence
• Find reliable sources of useable evidence
• Distil out the ‘active ingredients’ in effective practice
• Evidence helps us make our assumptions explicit so that we can check and test them
• Reflective practice.
25
For managers
• Drive an outcomes approach to the work
• Include measures of social impact
• Promote a culture of evidence
• Underpin own practice with evidence
• Creating spaces for reflection
• How to support, train and develop staff
• Join up learning across sectors
26
We need to do more by...
• Routinely gathering, collecting and using data in a systematic way to inform our decision-making
• Doing better by knowing more and making connections
• Be open minded and question accepted orthodoxies
• ‘Evidence’ is not a magic bullet
• Implementation is key to better outcomes

How do we know we are doing our best?
A presentation by Sandra Velthuis of Whitebarn Consulting for The Wheel
31 May 2012
The maximum impact challenge
• Delivering impact is more important than measuring impact.
• But without measurement, how do you know you are having an impact?
Measurement
• You can measure anything …
• But measured does not mean mattered.
• If you treasure it, measure it!
• Meaning is more important than metrics.
Some basic principles
• Understand how what you do leads to change.
• Focus monitoring/evaluation activities on those that demonstrate change.
• Stress intermediate outcomes
and distance travelled.
• Capture your organisation’s
full social value.
• Involve stakeholders.
Tracking progress
• Know what success ‘looks like’.
• Develop meaningful measurements and indicators.
• Use 2-3 measurements or indicators per variable.
• Quantitative and qualitative.
• Consult indicator banks and similar organisations.
• Evidence, not proof.
Example: improved health
• Number of visits to doctor or hospital.
• Weight gained or lost.
• Experience of specific symptoms.
• Absence from work due to sickness.
Example: policy change
• How often issue is discussed in traditional and new media and how it is framed.
• Ratings of policy-makers’ interest in, and influence on, issue.
• Public understanding of issue as assessed by polls.
• Progress of a bill through
the Oireachtas.
Data collection and analysis
• Methods depend on what information you need and what resources you have.
• Existing records, questionnaire surveys, one-to-one sessions, group sessions, etc.
• Samples, baselines and controls.
• Organise raw data, spot patterns/trends … learn!
The right tool for the job
• Quality tools (e.g. EFQM Excellence Framework, ISO 9001, PQASSO)
• Strategic management tools (e.g. balanced scorecard, RBM, SPEAK)
• Tools for measuring outcomes, impacts and social value
Outcomes, impacts, social value
• Individuals (e.g. Outcomes Star)
• Local communities and economies (e.g. Local Multiplier 3 and Prove It!)
• Infrastructure organisations (e.g. Value of Infrastructure Programme)
• Social value (e.g. SROI)
Communicating impact
• Internally to learn, improve and boost morale.
• Externally to meet funding requirements, attract support, increase credibility and share lessons learnt.
• Stories and numbers.
• The good and the not-so-good.
• Appropriate to audience.
Thank you

TABLE EXERCISE
1. Is everyone clear about the outcomes (as opposed to the outputs) their groups are aiming to achieve through their work? Can you give a few examples?
2. Can everyone name some sources of evidence (studies, research reports, surveys,
theoretical models, etc) of what approaches deliver the best outcomes for the people or communities they work with?
3. Would organisations be willing and able to do things differently if evidence
suggested there was a better way to do things? If yes, why? If not, why not?
4. What challenges would you anticipate in moving to more outcomes-based working?
5. What kinds of services, supports or initiatives might you find helpful in making this transition?

Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Vincentian Congregation
Daughters of Charity
Sisters of the Holy Faith
Active Citizenship/Voter Education Programme
Research Minimum Income Standards
Networking
Advocacy
Active citizenship requires the will and the
opportunity to participate at every level and in
every way in society – To be the arrow not the
target.
President M. Higgins
Loyalty to the state – carries specific
responsibilities, like bearing arms when the state
is under threat, observing the law, or treating
neighbours as you would be treated yourself.
And most importantly, a moral obligation to
participate fully and critically in civic life, voting,
joining speaking out, if necessary, marching.
Irish Times 4.2.12

Ireland 2007
Re - thinking our Vision
Active citizenship refers to the role of people,
communities and voluntary organisations in decision -
making which directly affects them. This extends
the concept of formal citizenship and democratic
society from one base of basic civil, political, social
and economic rights to one of direct democratic
participation and responsibility. In this sense,
citizenship is a political activity which gives citizens
the opportunity to shape the society in which they live.
Supporting Voluntary Activity Green Paper, 1997 pages 24-25
Taskforce on Active Citizenship
established by the Taoiseach 2006
National conversation on the extent
to which citizens engage in issues
that affect them and their communities
The Taskforce travelled round the country
Recommendations
1. Participation in the Electoral Process
2. Public Service and Citizens
3. Community Engagement and Promoting a Sense of Community
4. Education for Citizenship
5. Challenge of Engaging Newcomers
TASC The Report of the Democracy Commission and
Engaging Citizens 2005
Power to the People? Assessing Democracy in Ireland
2005 Awareness of interdependence - all groups and individuals
Civic self restraint – taking responsibility
Openness to deliberative argument – how to engage in politics
Awareness and compatibility of Irish and EU citizenship
2007 Strengths
Public Commitment to Democratic Values
Social Partnership
Electoral System
Rule of Law
Weaknesses
High level of poverty and inequality
Lack of representatives in public life
Active Citizenship Marshall 1950 and Kymlika and Norman 1991
Civil – deals with relations between duties and rights and
with what people can do for each other in voluntary groups
and organisations
Social – focus on respect for the rule of law as a necessary
condition of any kind of social order
Political – citizenship is not just a certain status defined by a
set of rights and responsibilities. It is also an identity, an
expression of one’s membership in political community.
Politics comes from the Greek word for Citizens,
which is polites
Politics can be understood as the work of all
citizens
“Bad officials are elected by good citizens who
do not vote” George Jean Nathan
Issues of Participation
Democracy: “Government of the people, for the people, by the people”.
Popular participation is at the core of any democratic society
Voting Trends – General Elections
1969 1977 1987 1989 1992 1997 2002 2007 2011
76% 75.66% 72.69% 67.66% 67.46% 65.26% 62.05% 66.71% 70.00%
Non Voters: The Experience of the
Vincentian Partnership
believe that their votes/voices have no value do not know how to complete a ballot sheet or how
to register as a voter. are intimidated by the language and the
presentation of politicians and candidates. have lost confidence in politicians because of the
scandals/ tribunals. Many people have given up voting because they
experience the growing gap between the richest and poorest people in our society
What is The Programme? Unit 1 – Explore with people the reasons to Vote how
to register and how to Vote Unit 2 – considers ways of taking an informed stance
on important issues in society Unit 3 – presents an approach to choosing
candidates on an informed basis
The content and process reflect the approach of
Paulo Freire to Adult Education
Voter Education Workshop
To Date
Workshops have been facilitated in 24 of the 26
counties approximately 400 in 15 years
Approximately 150 ‘trainers trained’
Voting Trends Ballyfermot/Cherry Orchard 49.17% increase of 21%
SWICN 43.64% increase of 13.21%
Finglas/Cabra 54.43% increase of 16.35%
Corduff 51% increase of 31%
Tallaght Central 54.88% increase of 24.11%
Bray 54.59% increase of 12.22%
Positive Outcomes
Participants gained insight into the electoral and political system
Discovered they were the experts on their areas
Acquired confidence in their capacity to speak up
Recognised that politicians are ‘just other people’
Some communities with further support achieved changes for the local area – e.g. road safety measures, safer parks and playing areas
Participants learned the importance of the 3Ps
Many community leaders expanded and developed the programme to include pre and post election meetings with candidates/politicians
More people recognise the power of their vote – my vote is my voice and the number of voters increased
The more people know how they are governed the better they will be governed Jefferson
“If we begin to see the world differently
we will begin to act in relation to it differently.” Mark Dowd
Some Negative Developments
Present cutbacks affecting community work.
“Change comes about when small groups of
concerned people come together to work for it.
Indeed change rarely happens otherwise”
Margaret Meade
Experience of more broken promises – more
fruitless consultations – increasing the risk of
alienation from the democratic/electoral system - “What is the point?”
Active Citizenship -
interactions between the three dimensions -
civil, social and political
Not simply volunteers
Not simply obeying law and order
Not simply voters
But
Citizens
Citizenship is good for you!
Dozens of painstaking studies have established
beyond doubt that social connectedness is one of
the most powerful determinants of well-being.
(personal and communal)
Bowling Alone - Robert D. Putnam, 2000
Civil Society
The conversation among people and societies to determine the most effective way to create healthy and sustainable public life – the engagement of citizens ultimately determines the health of public life. Kumi Naidu 1991
My friends, no one is born a good citizen;
No nation is born a democracy;
Rather both are processes that continue
to evolve over a lifetime. Kofi Annam 1998

BEING THE CHANGE
The Wheel’s Strategic Plan 2012 - 2016
THEORY OF CHANGE MODEL
1. Describe the problem and provide the evidence for how we know it exists.
2. Working ever deeper, explore the root causes of the problem, and identify the things that would need to change in the world for that problem to not exist any more.
3. Identify which of these things The Wheel wants to do, or wants to help to do.

OUTCOMES • Based on the eight strategic objectives • Will enable individual functional areas to measure their impact,
and also to enable The Wheel to track progress as an organisation against a single strategic vision. • Ultimate Outcomes: Longer term changes that The Wheel hopes to
achieve on behalf of and for our members (some straddle the scope of this plan.)
• Intermediate Outcomes: Medium term changes that The Wheel hopes to achieve on behalf of and for our members – and which are measureable within the scope of this plan. They will also indicate whether we are on course for achieving the changes described under ‘final outcomes’.
• Internal Outcomes: the things that make The Wheel effective at achieving our intermediate and final outcomes. They are about the way that we work and how we are perceived.
