This report summarises the results of a NIHR School for Social Care Research (SSCR)-funded adding value project on the development and testing of a local framework for evaluating prevention effects in England. The authors conducted a rapid literature review on cost-effectiveness of prevention in social care, supplemented by review of challenges involved in developing a prevention evaluation framework and existing methodological approaches to address these challenges. They also explored current practice with regards to evaluation of preventative services in England based on semi-structured interviews with key informants in six local authorities (LAs). An end-of-project workshop was held with participating LAs to share and discuss the findings.
