Evaluating a new model of tackling child sexual exploitation across England
As the Alexi Project comes to an end we have published four evidence briefings, each highlighting a different aspect of the Hub and Spoke evaluation. They include evidence on the role of the voluntary sector, multi-agency partnerships, outcomes measurement and the Children and Social Work Act. Please read and share with colleagues.
Isabelle Brodie leads work on the participation strand of the Alexi project. In this blog post she reflects on conversations with project workers about the value and place of group work with young people in child sexual exploitation services.
The Alexi Project evaluation of the Hub and Spoke model is taking a realist approach - but what does that mean? In the first of a mini-series we explore the kinds of questions that realist evaluators ask and the implications for the project as a whole.
We will be blogging about the activities and outputs of the Alexi Project over the next 18 months, so do subscribe if you want hear the latest news.
You can expect a mixture of content on our findings to date, methodological approaches, fieldwork activities and implications of the project for policy and practice.
