ESS kickstarts the new year with the theme – ‘Evidence use.’ In the next few months we will signpost to our new and existing resources, including blogs and videos, to help you with your questions about self-evaluation evidence. You may be asking:
- What is ‘good enough’ evidence? ‘Good enough’ for what?
- How do we analyse evidence?
- How do we use evidence in our work in the third sector (e.g. using evidence in community and health work)
- How do we use evidence for learning?
Make sure to follow us on Twitter and check our website to keep up with the theme! You can track our tweets and tag us using #EvalEvidence.
