Attainment Scotland Fund evaluation - families and communities: thematic evaluation report 2024

Introduction

This report focuses on an aspect of thematic evaluation which was developed as a priority focus in the later years of the initial Attainment Scotland Fund (ASF) evaluation, which explores engaging with and support for families and communities.

The report aims to present evidence from the Evaluation over the years since the Fund’s inception and tell the story of how engagement with, and support for, families and communities became a key focus for ASF funding, along with considering the evidence in relation to the ASF Evaluation questions. This report assesses that Evaluation evidence points to an embedding of this support, resulting in impacts with positive outcomes for children and young people, their families and their communities.
