The evaluation will examine the processes underpinning the development and phased rollout of the service, as well as the outcomes and overall impact arising from this service. This will include assessing impact on the child/younger person, parents/families, schools, NCSE staff, therapists, as well as inter-professional and inter-agency working relationships. The evaluation may be extended to include a third year.
