What is the Good Growth Programme Evaluation?

The fieldwork that Wavehill are undertaking for Cornwall Council is part of an evaluation of the Good Growth Programme which involves determining the performance and success of the programme, identifying learning and areas for improvement, and assessing the impacts achieved. Speaking to organisations and individuals who have engaged with or received support from the programme, as well as the delivery staff and external stakeholders, helps to capture insights into the programme and the effects that it has had.

What type of information is collected through the survey?

The fieldwork covers a wide range of topics. These include:

• Delivery processes

• Management and governance

• Performance

• Outcomes and impacts

• Lessons learned

What is personal data?

Some personal information of this kind has been captured for individuals as part of the engagement with the project and shared with Wavehill for the purposes of the evaluation.

Any data collected from this survey will be held for a period of no more than six months after the evaluation has completed.

What is the legal basis for collecting and processing the data collected?

Public interest - As the project has received public funding, this helps to ensure that future funding is allocated appropriately.
