Abstract or Description

Our three-year study, ‘Rethinking Impact, Evaluation and Accountability in Youth Work’ found that youth workers and organisations are keen to evaluate their work. Yet, it can be challenging to carry out evaluation in ways that support informal education and anti-oppressive practice, both of which are central to youth work. Our research found that youth workers and youth organisations navigate these issues most successfully when there is the flexibility to take creative, reflective, and youth-centred approaches to evaluation.

This resource raises questions for reflection to support youth workers and organisations to develop youth-centred, participatory, anti-oppressive evaluation practices.

While it is primarily for youth workers and youth work managers, practitioners working in related settings may also find it useful.
