Evaluation Report – Year 1 – Stakeholder perceptions of the Move Northamptonshire framework - Interviews

Part one of the Year 1 Move Northamptonshire Framework report explored stakeholder views via an online survey to gain a high-level understanding of Northamptonshire’s physical activity system.

For part two of the report, a total of 15 stakeholders were interviewed as an opt-in follow up to the 43 survey respondents (part one). Whilst 12 out of the 15 participants were conceptualised by Move Northamptonshire as ‘enablers’, 3 out of 15 of the participants were conceptualised as ‘connected to some degree’.

The participants of the interviews worked in variety of roles across the system including, Principle in Travel Choices, Public Health Principles, Public Health Practitioners, Chairs of Board, Social Prescribers, Assistant Directors, Programme Managers, Principal Leisure Managers, Active Workplace Coordinators, Personalised Care Leads. The participants were working within organisations such as the NHS, Country Parks, Social Prescription, Public Health, North Northamptonshire Council, West Northamptonshire Council, Northamptonshire Integrated Care Board, and Voluntary Community Social Enterprises.
