An exploration of the link between individualized project evaluation and policy analysis. The conceptual and legislative frameworks which contextualize family support are explored and, by drawing on existing literature, the book aims to provide a one-volume guide to and discussion of key developments within family support, in the UK and internationally, as well as within Northern Ireland, where the research is set. Five family support settings are selected for close examination by the research and the key evaluation questions applied. The book details the methodology employed, and explores exactly how the settings were organized for family support. Additionally, the book seeks to identify needs in the context of family support across the range of settings by examining indicators of potential need. Services appropriate to family support were also analyzed across the range of settings. Finally, the book reviews the settings against criteria for the evaluation and development of projects considered to be family support.
