Previous evaluations and kaupapa Māori studies of SWiS have found strong support for the service. Schools and kura, families and whānau, and social workers themselves have said they see positive change for students as a result of the SWiS service across a wide range of areas. To date, however, there have been few attempts to measure the difference SWiS makes. The purpose of this study is to add to the evidence base by addressing the question – what is the impact of SWiS on outcomes for students able to be measured using linked administrative data? (From the executive summary). A summary report is also available.
