Abstract

OFFA commissioned a team at the University of Warwick, including Dr Claire Crawford and Professor Robin Naylor, in August 2016 to investigate how universities and colleges evaluate their outreach schemes for young, disadvantaged learners who are the first in their family to go to higher education. This first phase of OFFA’s ongoing research into the impact of outreach has used feedback from universities with an access agreement and interviews with widening participation staff in eight institutions to understand current evaluation practice, leading to the development of proposed standards of evaluation. In the second phase of the project, for which OFFA has today published an invitation to tender, these standards will be tested with a number of outreach schemes, delivered by institutions and third party organisations, to help OFFA develop further guidance on the evaluation of outreach, and to provide data on the impact of outreach in different contexts.
