Every Child Matters 5 Outcomes

In line with many other funding applications, we have  a section which asks you to describe how your intended outcomes will evidence one or more of the Every Child Matters outcomes. These provide a framework for measuring how circumstances are improving for children and young people. When completing this section of your form, you need to be thinking about how the activity you are proposing will actually improve the lives of the young people with whom you are working.

The National Council of Voluntary Child Care Organisations (NCVCO) have produced a useful and straightforward fact sheet called Why use the 5 Every Child Matters Outcomes to monitor and evaluate?

If you need any help with this section, or have any other queries about the grant application process, then  please don't hesitate to contact Vic or Helen at WCVYS and we will be happy to help.
