Details

As set out in DWP’s Outcome Delivery Plan, evaluation is a key enabler for delivering our priority outcomes. Evaluation evidence from previous policies and programmes is used to develop new initiatives to meet the objectives set out in the Outcome Delivery Plan. The evaluation of new and current initiatives will help to ensure they are supporting these objectives as intended, with that evidence going on to inform future design. This document sets out our approach for ensuring that our evaluation work delivers high quality evidence on the right questions at the right time. It covers all types of evaluation – process, impact and value for money.
