Isabelle Brodie leads work on the participation strand of the Alexi project. In this blog post she reflects on conversations with project workers about the value and place of group work with young people in child sexual exploitation services.

In the second of our five posts on realist evaluation we look at the role of theory in understanding, testing and refining the ideas that underpin the hub and spoke model of extending CSE services.

The Alexi Project evaluation of the Hub and Spoke model is taking a realist approach - but what does that mean? In the first of a mini-series we explore the kinds of questions that realist evaluators ask and the implications for the project as a whole.

Lucie Shuker presents some of the key learning about Hub and Spoke models in use within the Alexi Project so far.
