Question 7. Continued - Measuring Impact
“
Evaluation forms and a carers star which gets
looked at periodically through the young carers time
with us to see if there have been improvements in
different areas in their We are rolling out the use of
lives.” “ Rosenberg's Scale.
”
“
We
measure our impact based on tangible outcomes,
mainly employment. Weworkwiththeyoungpeople
we train for a minimum 6 months after training completion to
support them with further employment opportunities or
training. 98% of our graduates are placed on a minimum 4
weeks work placement at one of the partner companies and
82% are still working in the TV and media industry a year after
completion.

Measuring
”
“
We
will evaluate the work every quarter, using an
evaluation framework that makes clear what aims
and objectives were, the differences we hope our project is
making (i.e. the anticipated outcomes) and the criteria we will
use to check we have made these differences (i.e. people
undertaking work experience placements, people
entering into sustained employment,
people coming off of benefits and onto reasonable
levels of pays combined with tax credits). Staff will also monitor
the changes in the young people, for monthly reports and
supervisions with Senior Management, ensuring appropriate
activities are being undertaken to enable the outcomes to be
achieved. We will also use feedback forms,
discussions with the young people and the Users’ Group to
monitor how the young people themselves feel they are
developing.
”
our impact is through verbal
feedback, evaluation forms. Inourfitness
activities, this is done on a weekly basis, in our creative
activities, it is done at the end of a session/event.
