A crucial part of the Shaping Places for Wellbeing Programme involves evaluating our approach and sharing our learning throughout the key stages of the programme. This enables replication of system changes across Scotland.
For the key stages in the programme, we've developed a set of 'How To' Guides which share our learning for those who wish to replicate this within their own place-based work. These guides support each area of our decision-making process, as seen below.
Diagram shows the four stages of our decision-making process and the tools and evidence that helps supports this:
- What do we want to happen and what is the data saying? → Place and Wellbeing Outcomes
- How could we help that happen? → Evidence and research on what works in places to improve wellbeing
- We plan what to do to make that happen and do it. What is the evidence on what works? → Place and Wellbeing Assessments to enhance impact on place. Support to make that happen
- What’s happening and what’s the impact? → Quantitative and qualitative community data. Place and Wellbeing Indicators
Our Data Informed Approach How To Guide shares our experience on capturing local quantitative data, and our Place and Wellbeing Assessment Guide aims to support new ways for decision-makers to consider their impact on place and people.
- A Data-Informed Approach: A How-To Guide to Capturing Local Quantitative Data
- Place & Wellbeing Assessment - How-To Guide
- A Data-Informed Approach: a How-To Guide to Capturing Local Qualitative/Community Data
We also share our learning through our blogs series and keeping you up to date on programme progress through our regularly updated Programme Summary document.
