Hi Bruce, and others who commission external evaluators.
You might want to post your request to the Visitor Studies Group jiscmail.
https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=VSG
There are plenty of independent evaluators amongst the VSG membership and I'm sure they'll have some horror stories / constructive advice to share.
A summary would indeed be useful.
Best wishes
Helen

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Question for Evaluators
Hi,
Also as part of our Schools Partnership, we will be looking for an external evaluator for the programme. We will be putting out a document that describes what we are looking for, but before we do so:
What information do evaluators want to see in calls for evaluation work?
Is there anything that you hate to see or that makes your job difficult?
(I'll collate the replies and create an anonymised summary as I expect this will be useful to others)
Thanks for your help
Bruce
