Policy domain
Education & skills
From schools to adult retraining and workplace upskilling — programmes often launch on pilot evidence. DDPP proofs uptake, progression and labour-market returns once systems have stabilised, with forums capturing access barriers statistics undercount.
Health proof questions
- Did economic inactivity or long-term sickness fall among cohorts targeted for retraining?
- Are wellbeing or primary-care utilisation patterns consistent with changed employment?
- Did time poverty or caring burdens limit participation — visible in forums but not admin data?
Equity proof questions
- Who completed programmes — by area deprivation, ethnicity, disability and age?
- Did transport and childcare barriers skew uptake toward already advantaged residents?
- Did workplace skills reach SMEs and precarious workers, or only large employers?
