Questions Thank You
Introduction to our evidence base
Helen Brock
Hackney Council
Overview
Introduce you to Hackney profile – “population and demography”
Share information about our progress story against the 6 SCS priorities
Share information about key issues and challenges
Discuss how we use evidence intelligently and addressing gaps in the data?
Explain where you can go for more information about evidence
Hackney profile - key Headlines
What is Hackney’s population now and how much has it grown since 2001?
What % of our population is under 20? What % of residents report that they are disabled or live
with a “life limiting illness” What % overall of Hackney’s population are from Black
and Minority ethnic groups? What are the main religions or beliefs in Hackney? After English what is the most common language spoken
in Hackney?
Progress story
Hackney’s Single Equality Scheme gives information on our progress around:
Employment Education Health and well being Safer Hackney Housing Sustainable communities
Issues and Challenges
State of the Borough work: “Hackney: The next Chapter”
Sets out key trends and challenges for the partnership in five chapters:
Section 1 - Encourage economic participation and reduce long term unemployment
Section 2 - Reduce child poverty and improve family wellbeing
Section 3 - Improve quality of life and promote safety and cohesion
Section 4 - Enable sustainable growth Section 5 - Help residents who most need support,
improve their capacity for independence
Smart approaches to evidence (1)
What is the objective need and what contribution can my organisation make?
What are the wider priorities and strategies that are relevant to my work? How can my organisation fit in to this? Or is there something the strategies and priorities are missing? How do I explain this?
Who are we reaching and how does this fit with Hackney’s profile overall? Are there any new groups we need to target?
What is already being delivered? What is the gap I am trying to fill?
Smart approaches to evidence (2)
If you can’t find all the evidence: What is the profile of our clients and what are there
needs? How does this information help “fill in the blanks”?
What is the demand? Are we meeting an objective need? Or have people got used to a service? Could they be supported in a different way or through a different organisation?
What do other local organisations and partners say about our work? Why do they tell clients to use our services
What feedback have we got from clients about what works and what they would like to see delivered?

How are they different to outputs?Outputs are the activities and services that you deliver that help you to achieve your desired outcomes
How are outcomes different to aims?
Aims are the changes you intend to achieve, at the start of the project
Outcomes are the actual result, at the end of the project timeline
Understanding Outcomes and Outputs
Organisations must demonstrate that they are making a difference (outcomes)
Increased competition and limited resources Demonstrating effectiveness and efficiency and value for
money now more important than ever before Continuous improvement not an optional extra but an
essential part of organisational sustainability!
More examples of Outcomes

In summary: Outputs and Outcomes
Outputs are the activities, services and products your organisation provides.
For example: 1:1 support sessions Training Publications
Think in terms of numbers of people, amount of sessions, etc, which will be delivered during the lifetime of the project.
Outcomes are the things which happen as a result of your activities.
For example: A homeless person secures
accommodation A client reports an
increased ability to budget [and avoid debt]
Confidence is increased An unemployed person
goes in to paid work.
Think longer- term.
