What Works Scotland will be a collaborative centre bringing together staff from the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh, other academics and key non-academic partners. Its aim is to support the use of evidence to plan and deliver sustained and transformative change based on agreed outcomes at all levels with a particular focus on the local. There is a particular focus on promoting the systematic use of evidence in the design, reform and delivery of public services. Examination of what works and what does not will take place in the context of the Scottish model, an approach to policy development that, while not unique, differs considerably from elsewhere in the UK. The team has adopted a demand led and collaborative approach and will work with a range of third sector organisations, different levels of central and local government and with Community Planning Partnerships to generate an evidence culture involving feedback, improvement methodology and expert support. The Christie Commission identified a range of problems facing Scotland including demographic change, economic and fiscal challenges, inter-institutional relationships and endemic long-term 'wicked issues'. It has also been estimated that in Scotland over 40 per cent of public service expenditure is the result of preventable issues. The Scottish model of public service delivery aims to ensure that services are designed for and with communities. This 'deliberative public policy analysis' demands that communities and those who design services are aware of best practice and evidence. The Community Planning Partnerships (CPPs) are key to the delivery of these services with a focus on 'voice' through participatory, collective, decision-making, planning and delivery in the context of targets set by National Government. A key challenge for each CPP is to articulate its Single Outcome Agreement and relate this to both the outcomes set out in the National Performance Framework. However, a common criticism of the CPPs is that the implementation of the model so far has been limited and patchy.The focus of WWS will on the four key questions identified in the call:- How can we take what we know from individual projects and interventions and translate this into system-wide change?- What is working (or not working), and why, at the different levels of delivery and reform and at the interface between those levels? How do we identify actions which can be taken in communities, at CPP and the national levels to improve impact?- What does the evidence (including international) say about large-scale reform programmes that have succeeded or failed and the impact they had in a system-wide context?- Why do results vary geographically and between communities, and how can we balance local approaches with ensuring spread of what works?A wide range of methods - qualitative and qualitative - will be employed. The capabilities approach will provide the overarching framework. Originally developed by Amartya Sen, capabilities are in widespread use across the globe and underpin the work of a variety of organisations. It is a useful corrective to top down economic evaluations and fits well with the Scottish deliberative approach. We will develop the Capabilities framework and combine it with the outcomes-based National Performance Framework, ensuring that the Scottish model is intellectually grounded and contributes to broader international debates on these matters.We will have 3 workstreams: evidence into action; outcomes and capabilities; and spread, sustainability and scaling up. We will employ a range of methodologies including case studies collaborative action research, contribution analysis, elite interviews and content analysis, cost effectiveness and evaluation. WWS will focus on four case studies of key CPPS and work with them to help them change their core business processes within priority areas in four CPPs and will aim to achieve lasting impact.

苏格兰的工作将是一个合作中心，汇集了来自格拉斯哥和爱丁堡大学的工作人员，其他学者和主要的非学术合作伙伴。其目的是支持利用证据，根据各级商定成果规划和交付持续的变革，特别注重地方。特别注重促进在设计、改革和提供公共服务时系统地使用证据。对什么可行，什么不可行的研究将在苏格兰模式的背景下进行，这是一种政策制定方法，虽然不是唯一的，但与英国其他地方有很大不同。该小组采取了以需求为导向的合作方式，并将与一系列第三部门组织、各级中央和地方政府以及社区规划伙伴关系合作，以形成一种涉及反馈、改进方法和专家支持的证据文化。克里斯蒂委员会确定了苏格兰面临的一系列问题，包括人口变化、经济和财政挑战、机构间关系和地方性的长期“邪恶问题”。据估计，苏格兰40%以上的公共服务支出是可预防问题的结果。苏格兰提供公共服务的模式旨在确保服务是为社区设计的，并与社区一起设计。这种“审慎的公共政策分析”要求社区和设计服务的人了解最佳做法和证据。社区规划伙伴关系是提供这些服务的关键，其重点是在国家政府设定的目标范围内通过参与性、集体决策、规划和交付发出“声音”。每个国家绩效计划面临的一个关键挑战是阐明其单一成果协议，并将其与国家绩效框架中规定的两个成果联系起来。然而，对CPP的一个普遍批评是，到目前为止，该模式的实施是有限的和不完整的。WWS的重点将集中在呼吁中确定的四个关键问题上：-我们如何从单个项目和干预中获得我们所知道的，并将其转化为全系统的变革？在交付和改革的不同层面以及在这些层面之间的接口，什么在起作用（或不起作用），为什么？我们如何确定可以在社区、CPP和国家一级采取哪些行动来改善影响？关于成功或失败的大规模改革方案以及这些方案在全系统范围内的影响，证据（包括国际证据）说明了什么？为什么结果在地理上和社区之间存在差异，我们如何平衡当地方法与确保有效方法的传播？将采用各种定性和定量方法。能力方法将提供总体框架。最初由Amartya Sen开发，这些功能在地球仪中广泛使用，并支持各种组织的工作。这是对自上而下的经济评估的有益纠正，也非常适合苏格兰的审议方法。我们将制定能力框架，并将其与基于成果的国家绩效框架联合收割机相结合，确保苏格兰模式有知识基础，并有助于就这些问题进行更广泛的国际辩论。我们将有3个工作流程：将证据转化为行动;成果和能力;以及传播、可持续性和扩大规模。我们将采用一系列方法，包括案例研究、合作行动研究、贡献分析、精英访谈和内容分析、成本效益和评估。WWS将侧重于关键CPPS的四个案例研究，并与他们合作，帮助他们在四个CPPS的优先领域内改变其核心业务流程，并将致力于实现持久的影响。
