Abstract

This report describes the findings of an evaluation of the Virtual Independent Visitor pilot scheme, on behalf of The Children’s Society. The project was piloted in Rochdale and Oldham, and offered a ‘virtual’ alternative (vIV) to the traditional face to face (tIV) Independent Visitor Service. The Children’s Society approached the University of Salford who undertook to carry out the evaluation pro bono. The objectives of the evaluation were as follows:
- To explore and compare young people’s experience of the two models for delivering IV service
- To provide information for The Children’s Society to support their decision making concerning their provision and development of IV and vIV services.
