A core components approach involves breaking provision into its constituent parts, and also consider which components are most important to remain intact and which are more flexible. During COVID-19 pandemic, a time of great upheaval, how can youth organisations use this approach to purposefully adapt provision with changes to context and learn through evaluation?
Speakers: Mary McKaskill, Research and Methods Lead, Centre for Youth Impact; and Dr Nick Axford, Associate Professor in Health Services, University of Plymouth
