Summary: The focus of this report has been to develop a framework for evaluating cultural interventions that sets out a ‘best practice’ approach to evaluating the benefits of public investment in culture. We show how a consistent conceptual framework for assessing the impact of cultural policy can be established. It can be applied to existing interventions or the development of new interventions. The framework has three steps: • Developing a policy matrix. This provides a taxonomy for defining and identifying the different types of cultural policies that exist and what they aim to do – in particular how the interventions’ objectives relate to the over-arching objectives for DCMS. • The rationale for each policy. This involves understanding what the economic rationales are for the range of cultural policy interventions – it also involves mapping interventions to the various rationales and assessing the robustness of the arguments for intervention. • Evidence of impact. This entails a critical understanding of the evidence that exists today on the benefits of cultural interventions. We describe the benefits that the policies are expected to deliver and the ways in which they could be measured. We develop this framework in this report and show how it can be used in a practical way to evaluate the impact of cultural policy interventions. Figure 1 provides an illustration of the key elements of the framework. Each of the elements is discussed below. (Font: Resum)
