If we want to create change in the social sector and address inequalities through our research, we need to consider the history of measurement, reflect on our current frameworks, and then start to shift the mindsets and behaviours that shape the research process. In this session Stephen and Bonnie will discuss the work currently underway to promote anti-racist evaluation in the UK, including in the children and young people’s sector, as well as the need to decolonise the measurement and evaluation space, and reckon with our colonial history as a field.
Speaker: Stephen Miller, Head of Impact Evaluation, Power to Change and Chair of the Charity Evaluation Working Group (CHEW) ; and Bonnie Chiu, Managing Director at The Social Investment Consultancy
