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 developed a set of 'How To' Guides which shared our learning for those looking to replicate this within their own place-based work. These guides support each area of our decision-making process, as seen below.
This diagram shows the three stages of our decision-making process and the tools and evidence that helps supports this.
Our Data Informed Approach How To Guide shares our experience on capturing local quantitative and qualitative 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.
