Our evidence-led data impact system is built on real lives and in real time, ensuring that the work we do isnโ€™t just meaningful, itโ€™s measurable and continually advanced. Being evidence-led means we can incorporate research approaches and evidence but also integrate practitioner expertise, experience, context, and allow for more flexibility and tailoring of interventions to individual need and starting points. Not only can this lead to more effective outcomes in complex situations and the specific context of the situation, but it also allows for a broader and better-informed interpretation of what constitutes "evidence."

For us, our evidence collating is not simply a โ€˜tick boxโ€™ exercise. It's about being transparent, responsible and accountable when nurturing change from the ground up and truly equipping and empowering the young communities we serve.

Street-to-Data Practice

Where Intervention meets Evidence

Our newly developed integrated data platform enhances the sustainable impact of intervention work by turning delivered practice into powerful evidence. Throughout a young personโ€™s developmental journey with us, we track meaningful outcomes across all phases and stages of our intervention programme. This includes progression and relapse setbacks. By embedding evidence collection directly into practice, our team can better see what we do, what we need to do, and where staff can make smarter decisions in real-time.

Being evidence-led not only makes our approach more truthful, trustworthy and transparent, but also more visible, accountable and understandable for staff, young people, communities, strategic partners, funders, and donors. As part of our Centre for Applied Research & Evaluation (C.A.R.E.), our evidence-led data impact system is focused upon creating a research-driven evidence base that shapes how we respond to risks outside the home for both practitioners and policymakers.
