Support and advice
The Outcome, Practice and Evidence Network (OPEN; a program of The Centre) supports the child, youth and family services to use and build evidence from research, practice and client experience to deliver better outcomes for children, young people and families. The OPEN portal provides practice resources to support the creation and use of evidence. Regular events, including an annual symposium, showcase sector-led research and evidence excellence and OPEN also runs an advisory service that can provide prompt help online, ongoing project support, tailored training and workshops and sector-led communities of practice.
OPEN can help you with undertaking, supporting or training in:
- Evidence review or needs analysis;
- Program logic or outcomes-focused design and measurement using evaluation tools;
- In-house or externally commissioned evaluation, research, data collection and outcome measurement;
- Implementation processes and measurement;
- Foundational micro skills or practices;
- Taking your promising practices or evidence-based program to the next level; or
- Other work customised to your needs.
