Evaluations
This page brings together our evaluation reports, demonstrating the impact, learning, and outcomes of our work.
This study aims to explore the evidence for interventions that integrate child health and social care and support
programmes and the impact they have on child health and wellbeing.
This study aims to assess the potential cost- effectiveness of the Sparkbrook Children’s Zone (SCZ), a pilot clinic for children and young people which integrates health and early years support in a highly deprived area of Birmingham, the UK’s second city, compared with standard primary care.
Qualitative Evaluation of Staff Experience Delivering SCZ
This work describes staff perspectives of delivering an integrated place-based service providing multidisciplinary clinical care and early intervention social support to children and young people in an ethnically diverse and economically disadvantaged community in the UK.
This study aims to understand the infrastructural challenges of providing a service combining clinical and non-clinical staff from a range of organisations and settings.
SCZ as a National Exemplar in NHS Guidance for Neighbourhood Health
This guidance outlines the principles and core components that underpin all neighbourhood multidisciplinary teams for children and young people, with Sparkbrook Children’s Zone being one of them.
Early Activity and Impact of a Neighbourhood MDT Integrating Health and Social Support
This study sought to measure: clinic reach to CYP living in deprivation; proportion of CYP receiving preventive health offers; referral rate to secondary care; proportion of CYP referred to a family support worker.
This work contributes to this need using the experience and perspectives of families using an early example of an NMDT for CYP; the “Sparkbrook Children’s Zone” in Birmingham (UK).
