E-valu-it Logic Model

Overall Aims

To increase and improve the measures of effectiveness of road safety education, training and publicity (ETP) by 2012
To improve the efficient use of road safety ETP resources

To increase knowledge and skills of individual users in the design and execution of evaluation plans
To increase evaluation capacity at an organisational level

The logic model shows the step-by-step process from intervention inputs through to long-term outcomes.

Input Outputs Outcomes

Input	Outputs
DfT funding to cover cost of RoSPA staff time, travel and accomodation	At least 25 LA's and RS Partnerships submit Toolkit question responses within first 6 months, and receive recommendations
DfT staff time and expenses	At least 10 road safety delivery bodies, other than LA's or RS partnerships, submit Toolkit question responses within first 6 months, and receive recommendations
Additional RoSPA staff time	50% of those who submit Toolkit question responses within first 6 months complete a final evaluation report within the following 12 months
RoSPA Web Team for website development	12 regional champions recruited and trained: actively promoting E-valu-it and evaluation
Steering group including L.A. Road Safety Officer representatives	Number of visits to the evaluation topics, links and case studies pages
Expert opinion from practitioners and acedemic peer reviewers	Number of enquiries replied to through E-valu-it email support
Venues & audio-visual equipment for meetings and workshops	Number of workshops run and number of people attending

Outcomes
Short	Medium	Long
Practitioners implement recommendations and current projects are evaluated (this may be ex-ante or ex-post but most likely ex-post)	Practitioners are competent in designing and executing evaluation plans and reports	Improved measurement of effectiveness of RS ETP interventions
50% of those who complete a report publish it on E-valu-it	The planning of future RS ETP interventions is informed by previous evaluation and research findings	Demonstrably efficient use of resources to contribute to GB casualty reduction
Increased understanding of why to evaluate, and how to evaluate	RS managers commit to building an evaluation plan into all future programmes	RS ETP work is routinely evaluated. The absence of evaluation is always challenged by funders, managers, and practitioners

Users believe the website to be a credible and authoritative source of information and guidance. Users trust the recommendations
Practitioners and managers learn from their peers and enhance their understanding of evaluation issues, and of the benefits of evaluation
RS professionals consider the setting of project aims and objectives and of the measurable difference they intend their projects to achieve
Practitioners understand the recommendations and feel able to apply them in practice. Practitioners are happy to share evaluation reports.
