Leadership: Scaling up interventions

Once the value of an innovative intervention for children and families has been recognised, the next step is to effectively implement and replicate it on a scale that can benefit even more people.

The UK has some of the most impressive and innovative organisations researching, developing and testing programmes to achieve better outcomes for vulnerable children and families. Yet replication of these interventions at scale continues to be a slow, laborious process.

Significantly more funding is aimed at developing and testing new innovations rather than the end goal - implementation and replication of effective services. In a world of declining resources, greater emphasis needs to be put on the use of evidence in practice, encouraging commissioners to actively seek out opportunities to replicate evidence-based programmes that already have proven outcomes. Innovating organisations need to consider how they can actively support this to happen by investing in implementation support.
