Oracle for a funding prophecy

Stephen Bediako explains the work of Project Oracle, a new evidence-hub that has helped target scarce services resources for children and young people in London to deliver the best return on investment

The public sector is undergoing enormous change. Budgets are under greater pressure than before, so there is a need to focus on evidence because every pound matters and the public expect their money to be spent well. 

Project Oracle can inform decision-making when assessing whether to fund (or stop funding) services aimed at improving children and youth chances in the capital. This ensures that public money is directed to those activities that are likely to have maximum positive impact.
