Presentations
Graeme Currie, January 2024
In webinar 1 we will focus on findings relating to the ingredients of a successful innovation journey. We will outline five key ingredients:
- receptivity of organisational setting for innovation;
- co-production with care leavers;
- dynamics of leadership;
- measurement of outcomes;
- adaption and learning processes
Sue Hammersley (NHP), Rosie Blackett (NHP), Amy Lynch, Jibril Mohamoud, February 2024
In webinar 3 we will focus on the National House Project (NHP) Case Study. The case study focused on House Project’s journey in supporting more young people in their transitions from care. The webinar will report on the learning from the 31 interviews with young people, practitioners and operational and strategic managers and 13 observations of meetings and events that aimed to explore the ingredients of House Project’s success.
Becky Johnson, January 2024
In webinar 2 we will focus on findings relating to the forms of evidence relating to outcomes for care leavers that are utilised at local and national levels. We will explore the policy-practice gap around what constitutes innovation evidence and how the gap might be reduced. We will discuss potential opportunities for closer integration of cohort-level statistics and individual-level experiential data.

In webinar 4 we will focus on processes of innovation at one of the case study sites, Care Journeys, Barnardo’s. Care Journeys is focused upon placing care-leavers at the centre of the innovation process and, specifically, care leavers who may face disadvantage linked to poverty, ethnicity, gender and sexuality.
