About this learning event
We will be joined by Sally Cowling, Director of Research, Innovation and Advocacy at UnitingCare Children, Young People and Families.
Sally will share her recent impact measurement experience, including the establishment and measurement of outcomes under the Newpin Social Benefit Bond (social impact bond). Social Benefit Bonds require measurement not only to manage and improve services, but also to trigger payments from Government and determine returns to investors.
Hear about the challenges of establishing these measures for the Newpin Social Benefit Bond and what UnitingCare NSW/ACT have changed across their other services and data collections as a result.
