In September 2007, an Independent Education Recovery Board was established by the Welsh Assembly Government Minister for the Department for Children, Education Lifelong Learning and Skills (DCELLS) to help to support Denbighshire County Council overcome shortcomings identified in its education system. BMG Research was commissioned by DCELLS to evaluate the effectiveness of that Board.

The formal aim of the evaluation was: to consider the extent to which the Board has been effective and whether or not the Board has contributed to the improvement of the Local Education Authority (LEA); and specifically to highlight any examples of good practice which could inform future interventions.

The more detailed objectives of the evaluation study thus focused on:

  • achieving an understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of the Recovery Board model;
  • a review of how the Board conducted its business;
  • investigating key stakeholders’ perceptions of the Board’s work;
  • and its impact on the authority’s recovery.
