Self-Evaluation Policy
Within the Concordat (2007) between Scottish Government and COSLA there are 15 agreed National Outcomes identified. Measuring progress towards these outcomes requires consideration of how people’s lives have changed rather than what the service outputs are in terms of the services offered.
The Getting it Right for Every Child focus on the well-being indicators and with the Curriculum for Excellence focus on the four capacities services again need to focus on how they are changing lives rather than how they provide services.
The Crerar review (2007) and consequent changes in the inspection regimes across services put an increasing emphasis on self-evaluation involving service users.
For all these reasons there is an increasing need to find effective, robust but manageable methods of demonstrating better outcomes for children and young people and involving them in the evaluation of children’s services.
Me, the teachers and my mum and dad came up with the idea that I should tell everyone in my year about what was wrong. I did this and no one has bullied me.”
