Brave’s Digital Delivery pilot of the SEPT program was launched for young parents isolated by geography, disability or other circumstances and missing out on necessary supports and opportunities to achieve their aspirations and improve their own and their children’s wellbeing.
Brave’s Peer-to-Peer Mentor Pilot was an extension of the SEPT program designed to support SEPT graduates ready to engage or re-engage with education or employment on completion of the program. The pilot lasted approximately 12 months and involved a SEPT graduate taking on the role of a Peer Mentor.
This How-To Guide was developed with a group of professionals working as Linkers, Navigators and Connectors to explore the roles, capabilities and future of the workforce in Australia’s social support sector. The Navigator Network was a pilot program to identify, develop, measure, and harness the value of the ‘Navigator’ role
Brave’s first Measurement, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Framework focuses on the flagship SEPT program. The purpose of the Framework is to operationalise the kind of evidence needed, and the overarching plan and steps to generate, disseminate and learn from evidence in response to priority evaluation questions to meet organisational goals. The MEL Framework will provide valuable direction for the development of Brave’s evidence infrastructure, in support of its aim to be recognised as a Centre of Excellence.
The Peter Underwood Centre (PUC) for Educational Attainment at University of Tasmania, finalised an independent evaluation into the key findings of Brave’s SEPT program trial. Lead Researcher and Peter Underwood Centre Deputy Director Professor Kitty te Riele said Brave’s SEPT program was a much-needed innovation.
