Standards of evidence and evaluating impact of outreach

It is important that higher education providers prioritise generating, sharing and learning from evidence about what is working to make higher education more equitable. Compelling evidence should underpin every provider’s strategy to improve access and participation. Providers also need to evaluate their activities robustly to make sure they continue to be effective and contribute to national evidence.

These documents give advice on improving evaluation practice and strengthening evidence to support providers to make informed decisions about investment in access and participation activities.
