Since 2016, the NSPCC has worked with organisations to adopt and deliver some of its evidence-based services locally to reach more children and families through our ‘test, learn and scale’ model. The process involves developing, delivering and evaluating a service before ‘scaling it up’ to other organisations to deliver.
Domestic Abuse, Recovering Together (DART), Graded Care Profile 2 (GCP2) and Baby Steps were the first three evidence-based services to be ‘scaled up’. We revisited 21 sites that had adopted the three NSPCC services, two to four years after their initial implementation to find out:
- how well these services were being delivered
- whether the delivery of services in local areas is sustainable
- if there were any challenges and how they were addressed
- how organisations can benefit from adopting these services.
