| A note about the term ‘self-evaluation’
This term is used to cover the way in which individuals, groups and organisations explore their progress, development and practice to identify what is working well, what has improved and what still needs to improve. It is a way of using evidence to assess achievements, success and areas that require action. It is never an end in itself but a means to inform action which will lead to increasingly positive outcomes for the children and young people you work with. |
