In support of continuous improvement and learning, and as part of Be You’s funding agreement with the Commonwealth Department of Health, Disability and Ageing, independent evaluations are regularly commissioned.
Evaluations provide an opportunity to explore:
- How Be You is implemented across different learning communities
- The impact for educators, children, young people and families
- Opportunities to improve support and outcomes
Findings from the evaluation underpin the strategic direction of Be You and ensure that the initiative continues to be evidence-based and experience-led. If you have any questions, please contact us
