Rhyl City Strategy - Interim Evaluation Report

Rhyl City Strategy is one of 15 UK pathfinders taking park in a Department of Work and Pension's programme to tackle worklessness.  A part of the programme, DWP commissioned the Institute for Employment Research at the University of Warwick to undertake a national evaluation of City Strategy.  The national evaluation is concerned with capturing evidence about processes of change; differences in governance, delivery and performance; outcomes; and transferable lessons.  In addition, Area Evaluation Advisors were appointed to support the Pathfinders in conducting their own local evaluation activity and to assist in alerting the national evaluation team to emerging evidence.

 

The attached interim evaluation report covers the set-up period of Rhyl City Strategy and provides a baseline and a set of recommendations for moving forward into the next phase.  Rhyl City Strategy is grateful to Anne Green of the University of Warwick for her support in producing the report, as well as to all the individuals who took part in focus group meetings and telephone interviews.
