This module will introduce management degree apprentices to the importance of evaluating the socio-economic impact of the voluntary and non-profit sector in the UK. It will specifically engage with: how Impact and its measurement are contested concepts, how terminology often times obfuscates impact work, how measurement is usually undertaken, the influence of funding strategies and bodies, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of adopted approaches. The module will help apprentices view evaluation in the sector as a myriad of tailored approaches that are variations based on established research methodologies as opposed to one type of all-encompassing and overarching schema.
