CHANGE - Year one evaluation report

‘Childcare and Nurture, Glasgow East’ (CHANGE) is a three-year partnership project (2016-2019) led by Children in Scotland with funding from the Big Lottery. The project aims to work with local residents to create better childcare for communities in the east of Glasgow that best support children and their families. The Glasgow Centre for Population Health is responsible for evaluating the project. Overall, the evaluation aims to explore the impacts of creating a co-produced childcare model in the project area, specifically assessing: changes in uptake of childcare for 0-12 year old children in the project area; impacts on family wellbeing; perceptions of neighbourhood-based services; and access to social, recreational and economic opportunities for those families. A three-year evaluation plan has been agreed and is underway. This report presents year one evaluation findings.
