Learning outcomes include:
· Developing an understanding of the value and importance of evaluating public engagement
· Understanding the process of successful evaluation and collecting evidence of impact
· Exploring the issues and challenges of evaluating public engagement
· Continuing to develop personal and professional skills, for example communication, planning and critical reflection
