Abstract

Children’s Neighbourhoods Scotland is a place-based approach that brings people together to do more for children and young people in disadvantaged communities1. A children’s neighbourhood aims to make sense of the range of different services, projects and interventions in an area. Working in partnership with local people and groups, the initiative, and the organisations and businesses involved, will work to ensure that community services are working well together, are better planned and co-ordinated and importantly are focused on local interests and concerns. This document sets out the initial background to adopting a Capabilities Approach in the evaluation of the CNS case study pilots. It outlines the key elements of a Capabilities Approach, issues for consideration when working with children and young people, and the next steps for CNS in implementing a Capabilities Approach.
