Program development

Responsible research and improvement

We develop and evaluate programs through evidence-informed practice and ethical research with appropriately qualified partners.

Evaluation agenda

What we want to understand

The agenda focuses on the experiences of children and families, the feasibility of the activities, and the learning needed to improve the program continuously.

The child’s experience

We aim to understand how children experience fear, stress, discomfort, confidence and a sense of control in relation to Budo activities.

Safety and adaptation

We evaluate feasibility, acceptability and the adaptation of activities to age, setting and children’s different needs.

Learning and transparency

We use qualitative feedback and quantitative data to improve programs and responsibly share relevant findings, methods and practical knowledge.
