Practice Guide 3: Demonstrating the impact of scrutiny work
This guide is about the importance of being able to demonstrate that scrutiny is effective, and that it has an impact. It sets out why this this is important, and sets out some non-bureaucratic ways to do it, along with ways in which impact can be enhanced. This is based in part of the “return on investment” model for scrutiny developed as part of our health programme, and on which more information is available in our publication “Tipping the scales” (2012, http://ow.ly/wzLGY).
