Commissioning Applied Research and
Evaluation Services

YPF has extensive experience of helping organisations improve their services by carrying out applied research and evaluations. For example we have:

  • Evaluated local services – e.g. youth crime prevention
  • Carried out needs assessments – e.g. an adolescent
       health strategy
  • Evaluated the effectiveness of local delivery of national
       programmes – e.g. the Triple P parenting programme
  • Trained and supported young peer researchers
  • Tested a new approach to alcohol education for young
       people
  • Evaluated innovative ways of supporting young fathers.

We tailor our approach to fit the job. For example: surveys and consultations; telephone and face-to-face interviews; focus groups; case studies; training and supporting young researchers; reviews of national and local policy documents; collating key data.
