Evidencing quality brings together our work on understanding quality independent advocacy, co-creating learning on independent advocacy and monitoring our own impact as an organistions.
Independent advocacy learning
SIAA aim to support members to be confident, knowledgeable and skilled in their roles. SIAA facilitates the sharing of best practice among members. This includes providing training and toolkits to members. We have also been developing a new area of work throughout 2024 on learning. SIAA plans to launch an online learning platform for SIAA member organisations in 2025. The platform will provide the basis for more consistent, high quality learning for independent advocacy organisations across Scotland.
Quality independent advocacy
SIAA support our member organisations to understand and monitor outcomes of their work. Member organisations co-produced the Outcomes Framework: Toolkit for Demonstrating Impact of Independent Advocacy to support independent advocacy organisations and groups across Scotland to demonstrate the impact of their work. It contains the Outcomes Framework, which includes both national independent advocacy outcomes and organisational outcomes. Additionally, the Toolkit provides comprehensive information on outcomes, outputs, indicators, as well as resources supporting data collection, measurement, and reporting.
In the longer term SIAA are working towards understanding the collective impact that independent advocacy makes in Scotland.
Understanding SIAA’s impact
SIAA work to monitor our own impact and demonstrate how we are working towards our strategic goals, supporting our membership and championing independent advocacy at a national level.
