Evaluation Tender
Getting the Measure: An evaluation of AI (alcohol intervention) training and resources for frontline staff working in the homelessness sector.
The Edinburgh Cyrenians would like to invite you to tender for a piece of research to evaluate a recently developed package of alcohol intervention (AI) training and resources. This is a new approach developed for key-workers who work with people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. The training and resources have been piloted with 5 key-workers but in 2010 we plan to extend this to all 33 of our key-workers and would like to evaluate the impact of this new approach both on our key-workers and on our clients.
