How to use

We show you how to get started with the CVE tool. Find practical ways to measure the impact of your CVE program.

How can the CVE Evaluation Tool help you?

The CVE Evaluation Tool makes the evidence base from past CVE programs accessible. This tool will help you to:

  1. Design your CVE program. You can find information about CVE programs to help you design your own program. You can use evaluations of these programs to draw on lessons learned.
  2. Evaluate how well your CVE program is achieving its outcomes. This tool will provide you with indicators that can be used to measure progress towards your outcomes. It also provides you with evaluation reports for programs with similar outcomes to yours.

How do I use the Program and Indicator finder?

These finders provide examples of programs, evaluations and indicators for the four nationally agreed sets of outcomes for CVE programs - Resilience, Diversion, Disengagement and Capability. Learn more about CVE outcomes.

  • Select which of these high-level outcomes you want to achieve
  • The Program finder shows you programs and evaluations related to this outcome
  • The Indicator finder shows you indicators you can use to help you measure if you have achieved this outcome. You can filter this high level outcome to show indicators for specific outcomes

Please note that the evaluation reports have not been screened for their quality. It is up to you to use the evaluation reports, and other material, critically, based on your judgement of their quality and relevance.
