Evaluation and why it is important
Evaluation is the process of systematically examining something to understand how well it is working and whether it is achieving what it set out to do.
In access and participation work, evaluation can help us to be more confident about which activities help to remove barriers for students, from application through to success at university and in finding employment.
At Reading, we are committed to carrying out high-quality evaluations so that we can better evidence and understand the difference our work is making.
