Evidence Statements - SD1712
|
Description
Evidence Statements are succinct summaries of evidence from published literature in a defined policy setting that are written for senior policy officials and a general non-expert audience to support decision making. No attempt has been made to make recommendations, but only to summarise the evidence.
Evidence Statements are developed using systematic approaches to improve the reliability and confidence in the findings, and improve the ease with which they are updated in light of new evidence. Evidence Statements are therefore designed to be “living” documents that are updated regularly based on consultation with the expert community and when new evidence appears.
Evidence Statements are primarily undertaken by PhD students over a 3-month period. They are hosted and supervised by Defra’s Chief Scientific Adviser’s Office and a policy or evidence team, with support by Dr Alice Milner (Royal Holloway, University of London).
