Our approach to evaluation
We are dedicated to making positive changes in Calderdale. Curious about how we measure our progress? Find out more about our approach to evaluation.
Data and Insight
The overall aim is to measure the year-on-year reduction of people who are inactive, this will be done through the national Sport England Active Lives Survey
In addition, the impact of physical activity changes in the social and physical environment has on individuals (mental wellbeing, physical wellbeing, individual development, community development, economic development) will also be monitored through our annual Your Views Matter Local Activity Survey.
Certain projects will receive evaluation support on a local level (e.g., surveys, workshops, focus groups) to understand how these projects are having an impact on Calderdale residents, you can see these results on the evaluation tab of our blog.
Process Evaluation
The overall aim of the Process Evaluation is to understand how change is made to policies, working practices, and delivery and what the conditions are to create change within a system, what we can learn from this and transfer to other areas, and what the impact is on Calderdale residents through stories and case studies. We report on these twice a year to Sport England and the learnings help inform the next six months of work. Download our latest process evaluation report below.
