Garner, Maria and Kelly, Liz (2025) On the cusp of systems change: the Safe & Together London Partnership project. Evaluation years 3/4. Project Report. Child and Woman Abuse Studies Unit, London Metropolitan University, London (UK).
This report presents evaluation findings from Years 3/4 of the London Partnership Model (LPM) implementing Safe & Together across six London boroughs. It draws on multiple data sources, including: interviews and action learning sets with the project team and CSC professionals; training delivery data and feedback surveys; and CSC monitoring data. All seek to assess changes in social work practice and map the direction of travel towards systems change.
The composition of the partnership has changed across the full project term, originally five East London Boroughs. By Year 3, two boroughs had left and three new boroughs joined; Hammersmith and Fulham in Year 2, and Barking and Dagenham and Barnet in Year 3. Evaluation has had to follow the direction of three different tracks – each at different stages of implementation. Through an embedded evaluation approach we explore the process and outcomes of systems change through a proportionate and contextual lens, taking a reasonable view of what can be achieved in the time frame with the resources, and how broader systems can act as barriers as well as enablers.
