Eleanor’s recent and current projects include:

• National evaluation of the MEAM Approach. The MEAM Approach aims to improve and coordinate care and support for people with multiple and complex health and care needs, including substance misuse, homelessness and mental health needs. This project works alongside peer researchers with lived experience of multiple and complex needs and takes an explicitly collaborative, co-productive approach to evaluation.

The model takes a holistic, solutions-focused, whole person approach to mental health and wellbeing. The evaluation involves qualitative and quantitative consultation with stakeholders in the four Living Well sites across the UK to evaluate the implementation and impact of the programme.
• Evaluation of a domestic abuse programme in Doncaster for the DfE: This longitudinal evaluation involved in-depth consultation with stakeholders and social care staff, case file reviews and monitoring data analysis to evaluate the approach of whole family working and the use of domestic abuse champions to support victims/survivors and reduce repeat victimisation.
• Evaluation of a domestic abuse perpetrator programme for a Police and Crime Commissioner. This mixed methods evaluation used evidence review alongside qualitative consultation to optimise learning around reducing perpetration of domestic abuse.
• Evaluation of the YOLO prevention initiative for young people at risk of involvement in crime. This initiative aimed to divert young people at risk of serious violence in Northumbria away from offending behaviour.
• Evaluation of Disrupting Exploitation, a prevention initiative for young people at risk of exploitation. This is a national, multi-site project delivered by The Children’s Society, working to prevent child criminal exploitation and child sexual exploitation in the UK.
• Evaluation of a health and wellbeing project in North London for people with learning disabilities. This two-year project by the Camden Society focused on reducing isolation and improving mental and physical health and wellbeing for people who used the service.
