Social Value Engine webinar

01 Nov 2023 - Online via Zoom 2-4pm

All territorial geographies in the UK have a requirement for anybody spending even modest sums of money to have regard to social value. 

The practice of identifying, measuring and delivering social value has become a “dark art” with many examples of “impact washing” and “over-reporting.”

This free to attend seminar will de-bunk the myths about social value, it will explain how to describe and measure social value in the round. It starts from the premise that if we understand social value there is nothing to be afraid of and much to celebrate in engaging with it.

It will demonstrate how our mindsets, systems and insight determine social value rather than a narrow transactional approach which sometimes sees it as an “add on” to our core activities.

Central to the event is the Social Value Engine the only UK accredited software tool for assessing social value, which is jointly owned and developed by East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Rose Regeneration. 

The Seminar will be delivered by Ivan Annibal Managing Director of Rose Regeneration and Claire Watts, Director of Economic Development and Communications at East Riding of Yorkshire Council, who are the co-inventors of the Social Value Engine, chaired by Nigel Wilcock, Executive Director of the IED.

It will involve:

• An introduction to the principles of real social value
• A demonstration of how to effectively measure social value – which will be of particular interest to the public sector – looking at both procurement and wellbeing
• A series of case studies about the application of social value measurement in real life setting
