Evaluation of Ask and Act

Ask and Act is a process of targeted enquiry to be practiced across the Public Service in Wales to identify violence against women, domestic abuse and sexual violence.  

Participants taking part in the research included Ask and Act trainers, learners, regional co-ordinators and colleagues from Welsh Women’s Aid and Welsh Government.

The evaluation finds that Ask and Act is seen by those who participated in the evaluation as an important and valuable programme which is having an impact across Wales for those participating, both individually and at an organisational/sector level.

There is evidence for a wide recognition of the need for Ask and Act and broad support for the aims of the programme. The Train the Trainer model is felt to be the most appropriate method for delivering and disseminating the training.

The report includes fifteen recommendations for consideration; relating to delivery and rollout, course content and training materials and evaluation.
