About Future Pathways
Future Pathways supports people who were abused or neglected as a child when they were in the Scottish care system. Their work focuses on supporting people to achieve their personal outcomes so that they can lead full, healthy, and independent lives. The service is delivered by the In Care Survivors Alliance and funded by the Scottish Government.
A collaborative approach to evaluation and learning
We’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Future Pathways since 2018 to help them in embedding self-evaluation supported by OutNav. At key stages in their journey, we acted as an independent learning partner to build on their own learning.
Most recently, we reviewed evidence gathered and analysed by Future Pathways and supplemented it with new data we collected at a series of workshops and discussions with people supported by the service and partners working with Future Pathways. Findings were published in the Stepping Stones impact report in August 2023.
By combining a self-evaluation approach with independent analyses and review, Future Pathways has been able to describe and understand its impact more fully and tell a robust story of the difference that they make.
