New Philanthropy Capital (NPC) is developing a new toolkit with National Offender Management Service (NOMS) to measure the outcomes of work to improve offenders' relationships, and is working with Clinks to get your opinions on what this should include. The survey should take no longer than 10 minutes, and the deadline for responses is 13 March.

Who should take part in this survey?
NPC are surveying all organisations who work to improve the family and peer relationships of offenders, whether you work with offenders directly or with their families. They are interested in viewpoints from different staff members (from frontline staff to senior management) so do forward the survey to any relevant colleagues or organisations.
What are NPC asking?
They want to find out more about the work you do, the outcomes you achieve and how you currently measure the impact of your work. They'd also like to get your opinions on how such a toolkit could work for you.
About this research
NOMS have commissioned NPC, along with the Institute of Criminal Policy Research, to develop this toolkit, which will measure the intermediate outcomes of work to improve the family and peer relationships of offenders. Voluntary and Community Sector partners on this project are: Action for Prisoners' Families, Ormiston Children and Families Trust and Safe Ground. NPC is also working closely with Clinks, as the membership body for charities working in criminal justice. A parallel project is being led by RAND Europe, in partnership with ARCS (UK) and University of Glamorgan, focusing on arts and mentoring work with offenders.
Results from this survey will feed into the development of a new toolkit for organisations to start measuring the impact of their work.
