support and early intervention for deaf children and their families


There is a thread of discussion about this elsewhere in 3s4 Forums:

http://www.3s4.org.uk/topics/340?forum_id=163

specifically about Social Return on Investment or SROI. It is in Member News - I am sorry I don't know the best way to link up the discussions! If anyone has answers to my practical concerns about SRoI I would be very glad to hear them.

<>I attended a seminar about Measuring Social Impact recently, and heard for the first time about the huge initiative that SRoI appears to be. I may not have all the facts right (so, apologies for that), but what I heard alarms me. My understanding is that SRoI "attempts" to quantify the savings that could be made by investing £1 in a charitable project - in other words, what Mark is trying to get to above. I completely agree that it is a laudable concept, but I am also deeply suspicious...
