UCL Centre for Education Policy & Equalising Opportunities (CEPEO) and the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Pedagogy (0-11 Years) (HHCP) have been working closely with AllChild to design and carry out impact and process evaluations of AllChild’s impact programme.
Their primary impact evaluation design is statistical matching design based on estimating young people’s propensity of being selected for the AllChild programme. In addition, they seek to come closer to estimating the causal impact of AllChild participation using a discontinuity-based design that also exploits a feature of these selection processes.
The implementation and process analysis conducted observations, interviews and informal conversations with a range of informants involved in delivery or receipt of the AllChild programme, including case study participants, followed by thematic analysis of the qualitative data collected.
This report documents the analysis and findings of the work during the project.
