We will track our progress towards meeting our short, medium and long-term outcomes through our Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) Plan under our Outcomes Framework.
The MEL Plan components are:
Monitoring
Outcomes Framework implementation will be monitored through internal reporting to Victoria Police executive and decision-making committees.
Regular reporting on data provides opportunities for learning and strategic planning.
Evaluation
Family Violence Command will evaluate the Outcomes Framework by measuring its implementation:
Effectiveness
To what extent have our outcomes been achieved? Which activities were most successful at delivering these outcomes?
Impact
To what extent have we improved the experiences of victim survivors, including those from priority communities?
Coherence
How has our work in the sector complemented and supported the work of other agencies?
Sustainability
How is resourcing being sustained? What are the gaps, opportunities, and priorities going forward?
Learning
Implementation of the Outcomes Framework is an iterative process, requiring adaptability to new learnings. Impact evaluation measures will be continuously tested and assessed to ensure we are accurately measuring our impact.
The MEL Plan reforms our data collection and analysis to provide an evidence base about how we drive consistent and quality responses. This will support the continuous improvement of our response models and resourcing prioritisation across Victoria Police.
The MEL Plan contains specific indicators that measure outcomes for victim survivors, perpetrators, children and young people, and our people.
The indicators will be regularly examined over the course of the strategy to ensure that Victoria Police is tracking towards each outcome and our overall organisational goal.
