The Children’s Social Care Innovation Programme aimed to:

- ensure there are stronger incentives and mechanisms for innovation, experimentation and replication of successful new approaches
This final evaluation report provides an overview of the Innovation Programme evaluation findings to date and demonstrates progress against the programme’s aims.
