As the Alexi Project comes to an end we have published four evidence briefings, each highlighting a different aspect of the Hub and Spoke evaluation. They include evidence on the role of the voluntary sector, multi-agency partnerships, outcomes measurement and the Children and Social Work Act. Please read and share with colleagues.

Lucie Shuker, Zoe Cox and Kirsche Walker reflect on a recent event hosted by the Alexi Project participation strand about children's participation and CSE.

On April 26th the Alexi Project hosted a one-day conference exploring the gap between policy and practice when it comes to children’s participation and CSE. View the programme here ahead of the full event report.

2016 has been quite a year so far and we're only two thirds through it. Lucie Shuker, policy lead for the evaluation team, reflects on how recent changes in Westminster might affect CSE services and the work of the Alexi Project .
