What Works (formerly QCBI) is a Department of Children and Youth Affairs initiative which aims to maximise the impact of prevention and early intervention to improve the lives of children and young people. What Works will ensure that key groups working with children, young people and their families know what works, how it works, and it will provide an evidence supported approach to apply to this work.
What Works focuses on enhancing key areas as they relate to children and young people’s services:
- Data and Evidence,
- Capacity,
- and Quality in Prevention and Early Intervention policy, service and practice.
The What Works Network Support Fund announced in November 2018 aims to support organisations promoting evidence informed approaches to prevention and early intervention services, so that those working with and for children, young people and their families are supported in doing the right things, in the right way and at the right time. Subject to funding availability, this funding scheme will be open to applications until 5 November 2019 and awards will be announced on a rolling basis.
To date some €260,000 has been awarded to successful applicants under the What Works Network Support Fund. The recipients of funding thus far are listed below in tabular form for each of the years 2018 and 2019.
