Chris Hatton Keynote - Seattle Club Conference 2014 JusticeforLB
These slides accompany Prof Chris Hatton's keynote lecture: How does research have an impact on the daily lives of people with learning disabilities?
Chris discusses how research can, or could, have an impact on policy and on the lives of people who are learning disabled. He considers whether #JusticeforLB and the #LBBill can be considered a 'charismatic' approach to bringing evidence to ideas, that are then brought to public policy.
The Research in Librarianship Impact Evaluation Project (RiLIES - pronounced 'realise') completed in August 2011 explored the extent to which funded librarianship research projects influence library practice in the UK. Of particular interest in the findings are the factors that increase or hinder the impact or project outcomes on practice.
This presentation, delivered at Online 2011, relates the main findings of the project related to: the relationship between the library and information science research and practitioner communities; how researchers can improve the impact of their research with careful attention to how projects are planned, conceived, implemented and reported; organisational factors that support the development of a receptive audience for research output.
IFAD engages in policy work to better achieve its mission of poverty reduction and scaling up its impact. It defines policy engagement as working with governments and other actors to influence policies that affect rural populations. IFAD engages directly and indirectly through projects and grants. A review found IFAD does substantial policy work through country strategies, projects, and grants, though monitoring and evaluation of policy engagement is currently ad hoc. Moving forward, IFAD aims to strengthen policy focus within projects and better integrate policy engagement monitoring and evaluation into its overall systems.
This document analyzes local transformation plans (LTPs) for children and young people's mental health services from across England. It reviews the plans both quantitatively and qualitatively. Key findings include:
- Total estimated spend on children and young people's mental health was £628 million in 2014-15, with most from clinical commissioning groups and local authorities.
- Common priorities for transformation funding included eating disorders, school and education programs, crisis services, and support for vulnerable groups.
- Analysis of targets and priorities found a focus on improving access to services, early intervention, and monitoring outcomes. Eating disorders was the most common theme among targets.

This document discusses policy and policy making in education. It defines policy as directives that guide decisions and actions. Policy making is the first step in the planning cycle and policies differ in scope, complexity, environment, choices, and criteria. There are four types of policies: issue-specific, program, multi-program, and strategic. The document also discusses the actors and processes involved in policy making, including the synoptic and incremental approaches.

Ro Rossiter & Duncan Law with team and service users and parents/carers (Child Outcomes Research Consortium & London and South East CYP IAPT Learning Collaborative)
Outcome Mapping is a planning, monitoring, and evaluation methodology focused on changes in behavior of social actors that a project works with, rather than direct attribution of impact. It views development as a complex process influenced by many interrelated factors and actors. The methodology focuses on outcomes as changes in behaviors, relationships, actions, and policies of boundary partners. It helps contribute to long-term impact through progress markers that track boundary partners' progress along three levels of change from early responses to deep transformation.
HWBs are expected to (1) accredit and assess CCGs, approve their plans and budgets, and refer disagreements to the national board. (2) Develop joint strategic needs assessments and understand the impact of cost-cutting locally. (3) Champion public health and reduce inequalities. However, getting diverse stakeholders including GPs, councils, users, and the national board to agree will be challenging. HWBs must seek evidence-based, long-term solutions while building trust between sectors.
The document provides information about the Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP IAPT) Programme in the UK. It discusses (1) the high costs of mental illness in children and the benefits of evidence-based practice, (2) how CYP IAPT aims to transform child mental health services (CAMHS) through expanding the workforce's skills in evidence-based practices, increasing collaborative and outcomes-focused care, and transforming participating services, and (3) some of CYP IAPT's achievements so far including developing national curricula for therapies and supervision, empowering young people, and linking service improvements to better adoption of evidence-based practices.

Evidence and Wellbeing | Local Authority Case StudiesAndrea Edwards
This document discusses four local authority case studies on using evidence to inform decisions related to adult social care, public health, and community planning. It outlines the challenges local authorities face in accessing, applying, and measuring evidence on wellbeing. Key difficulties include lack of time, difficulty generalizing evidence from other areas, and challenges capturing qualitative impacts like improved wellbeing. Public health is seen as using evidence more rigorously, but social care evidence struggles to be heard in health forums. The document also explores ideas for how the What Works Centre for Wellbeing could help by addressing complex issues, publicizing forthcoming evidence, and providing clear guidance on applying evidence in different contexts.
The document summarizes a conference for policy officers in the NSW government to be held from February 6-10, 2017. It will include pre- and post-conference workshops as well as a two-day summit. The summit and workshops will focus on providing innovative skills, tools, practices and approaches for effective policymaking. They will cover topics like using evidence in policy, stakeholder engagement, project management, and evaluation. There will be presentations from policy experts, case studies, and opportunities for networking and discussion.

Professor Peter Fonagy - CYP IAPT National Clinical LeadCYP MH
This document summarizes the key issues with the current state of children and young people's mental health services in the UK and internationally. It finds that community-based usual care is often ineffective and fragmented. There is a lack of evidence that provider characteristics predict outcomes and inconsistent use of evidence-based practices. The document proposes a new "template" for appropriate child and youth services that focuses on improving access, awareness, participation, evidence-based practice, and accountability through routine outcome measurement. It highlights the Children and Young People's Improving Access to Psychological Therapies (CYP-IAPT) program as an example of implementing this template through training, collaboratives, and other reforms.
This document outlines an approach to monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) for influencing campaigns and advocacy work. It discusses how influencing work is different from traditional campaigns in terms of its aim to shift power dynamics and need for rapid response. A six-step approach to influencing MEL is presented, including setting strategy, developing a theory of change, measuring success, collecting and analyzing data, conducting external evaluations, and communicating learning. Examples of a theory of change diagram and measures of success are provided. The goal of the MEL process is to understand what strategies are effective, build stronger teams and partnerships, and maximize impact.

Presentation by Dr. Rebecca Hanlin of The Open University UK, on getting knowledge into policy, during the training on The Art of Influencing Policy Change: tools and strategies for researcher, held by The Scinnovent Centre on 12th -14th February 2013 in Nairobi
The document provides guidance on conducting a community health assessment and designing a community health project. It discusses assessing the community to identify health problems, prioritizing issues, analyzing contributing factors and risk factors to set goals and objectives. Strategies are then determined to address objectives and work towards the overall goal of reducing risk factors. Implementing, monitoring and evaluating the project is also covered. The intended outcome is for students to plan and conceptualize their own community health project based on a case study.
This document outlines the 8 key steps for developing and evaluating policy:
1. Describe the problem by identifying causes, impacts, perceptions, and potential solutions.
