The Evaluation CoP meets every second month to:

  • Learn from and support each other
  • Build shared knowledge and understanding
  • Pursue collaborative opportunities which address common issues in strengthening the evidence practices in the sector

About

The Evaluation CoP is open to those who have data collection, evaluation or research responsibilities (or interests) in organisations which support children and families.

Members are from diverse organisations, regions and with varied backgrounds to foster robust discussion and knowledge sharing. The Group adopts a strengths-based inquiry approach where members teach and learn from each other irrespective of position – differences of expertise and experience are a strength, there to explore and learn from.

Meetings include a combination of unstructured and more formal content with informal sharing and  troubleshooting of issues identified by members and formal presentations, training or tips from members or guests on common areas of interest.

If you are an ‘evidence’ practitioner and are interested in the Evaluation CoP, contact the OPEN team via OPEN@cfecfw.asn.au
