Session 7 - Safe and Inclusive Sport Community of Practice

This in-person event will cover undertaking evaluation of gender equity and violence prevention initiatives in sport.

As the final in-person CoP in this series, this event will include 45 minutes of dedicated networking time.

Further details of speakers, presentations and activities will be available closer to the date.

The session aims to:

• Build capacity to embed evaluation as a critical learning and improvement tool rather than just a measurement of outcomes.
• Demystify evaluation by reframing it as a reflective, ongoing process tied to planning and learning—not just project success or failure.
• Build foundational skills in project logic development, outcome setting, and data collection planning.
• Share practical tools and resources, including Respect Victoria’s Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Toolkit, to support evaluation activities.
• Foster peer learning through the exchange of strategies to evaluate projects that are culturally relevant, participatory, and gender transformative.
• Promote inclusive evaluation by centring the voices of women, girls, and gender-diverse participants through consultations, focus groups, and gender audits.
• Encourage continuous improvement by discussing how findings can inform future planning, governance, and organisational learning.
