2. Together, lets evidence the amazing things that happen
A bit of the background
An introduction to the new evaluation model
How it might work in practice:
Some of the barriers
Support and benefits you want to see
The questions and ‘user journey’
Next steps and how to get involved

3. Piloted a model for evaluating a reduction inactivity (and other outcome)

6. Inactive to active: evaluation framework
Clear benefit and incentives to sites and sailors to engage
Stand alone process
Captures data at ‘registration’, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months
Ink spot approach to implementation
Establish baseline and increase volume of data over time
Evidence outcomes and impact:
Learning
Physical activity – inactive and fairly inactive
Mental Health
Social connections
Digital and paper options
User toolkits, guidance and incentives

9. Inactivity: evaluation process
Site signs up
Sailors from site register
Sailors track activity and review at mid and end of season end
Support and incentives for sites and sailors
Data available to sailor, site and RYA
