Once up and running, you want the programme to make the biggest possible difference to the families you support.
Reviewing your programme will enable you to understand if you’re making a difference, why or why not, and what you can do to improve. The process can also help you demonstrate to others how it works and what it can achieve.
Principles for measurement and data collection
- Collect ‘just enough’ data. Good data collection is time-consuming and can be difficult. It is better to measure a few things well than try and measure a lot and not get sufficient information on anything.
- Consider how you will collect measurement data before deciding to use a particular measure.
- Who will the data need to be collected from – e.g. mums, volunteers, programme coordinator?
- When will data need to be collected – e.g. first session only, every session, 3 months
following the end of the programme?
- Who will collect the data?
- Who has the time and skills required?
- What tools will be used to measure?
- How will the data be recorded and stored?
