Assessing the value of community health programmes using sroii4h
Presented at the European Public Health Conference, 2017 (Baker, C. & Courtney, P.).
Contemporary theories and models applied in health promotion evaluation lack sensitivity with respect to recognising and accounting for the wider ecological context in which behaviour takes place. This leads to a deficit in knowledge concerning the nature and value of outcomes experienced by people at which programmes are targeted.
An evaluation framework was devised to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of physical activity and sport projects implemented via a two-year health promotion programme in the UK.
The Social Return on Investment framework provided a means of understand-ing and valuing the wider social changes of the health promotion programme and ensured the outcomes were grounded in the realities of the people who experienced and implemented the programme.
This represents an innovative approach that addresses some of the limitations of contemporary health promotion evaluation approaches.
Our conceptual framework helps to understand the wider societal impacts of health promotion interventions which are often neglected.

Commissioners of evaluations need to ensure the involvement of relevant stakeholders throughout the evaluation process1. An approach that was sensitive to the realities of the people who experience and implement programmes was devised to establish meaningful and relevant outcomes of a small grants health promotion programme.

Gloucestershire Active Together Social Return on Investmenti4h
Gloucestershire County Council’s (GCC) Active Together (AT) programme aimed to help encourage more participation in sport and physical activity across the county and was open to a range of community groups, from sports clubs to scout groups and parish and town councils, and schools. In September 2014 the University of Gloucestershire was commissioned Public Health Gloucestershire to evaluate the AT programme as a means of establishing evidence of whether the programme was a good way of using funds to encourage greater participation in health enhancing activities. Using a mixed methods approach incorporating a Social Return on Investment framework the evaluation sought to understand and value the changes that occurred as a consequence of projects implemented
with AT funding.
This slide Summary presents a summary of findings from an evaluation of the Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) intervention to support mental health literacy among members of the Armed Forces community in the UK.
A mixed method evaluation included both quantitative (surveys) and qualitative (observations, interviews, and focus groups) elements. The quantitative aspect of the evaluation involved the development of a pre- and post-training survey which assessed shifts in trainee (n=602) knowledge, attitudes, and confidence around mental health issues from pre-training to post-training, including a follow up survey 10 months after the course to establish whether the course had a sustainable impact. Of the 602 trainees who completed the initial survey, n=120 completed the follow-up survey.
The qualitative aspect of the evaluation comprised course observations (n= 13), semi-structured telephone interviews with trainees post-training (n=13), focus groups with trainers (n =14) and a focus group with an expert reference group (n=4).
Quantitative findings revealed that:
- immediately following training, from pre- to post-intervention (the training course) trainees showed a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and confidence. Importantly, this effect was sustained at the 10 month follow-up.
- there was a small but significant decrease in knowledge which occurred from post training to follow-up. Despite the decrease from post training to follow-up, overall, knowledge, attitudes, and confidence were all significantly higher than at baseline.
Qualitative findings reported that trainees:
- increased their knowledge, understanding and confidence in talking about and communicating with people who have mental health issues;
- had improved listening skills, advice giving, and confidence in asking difficult questions regarding mental health issues.
Trainers reported:
- increased learning and confidence in understanding and managing mental health through the training experience;
- shared feeling with other trainers and trainees of wanting to support and help the promotion of mental health and its awareness in the Armed Forces community; and the need to manage military and civilian dynamics within the courses.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
