VAWDASV: Theory of Change

A ToC is a visual representation tool that helps explain how and why a particular activity or strategy is expected to lead to changes . Given the multifaceted nature of VAWDASV, the development of a ToC will improve the understanding of policy implementation processes to determine the mechanisms that lead to better outcomes.

Our approach

We are undertaking research to map the ToC model, including:

• Inputs from stakeholders across the VAWDASV network and public services in Wales.
• Mapping core components that will inform policy implementation, to support stakeholders to decide on actionable steps to improve and refine the whole-systems approach to tackling VAWDASV.
• Assessing risks, barriers and external influences that may impact the provision and implementation of VAWDASV support changes.
• Detailing and understanding the relationship between Government and public services actions on the outcomes experienced by those effected by VAWDASV.
