The Centre of Excellence in Interdisciplinary Mental Health (CEIMH) was committed to recording the development of the Centre's evaluation activity through the use of both text and digital formats.

From 2005-2010, CEIMH developed a detailed evaluation framework, which reflected the Centre's participatory approach to evaluation reports to the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE).  Over this period,  three such reports were produced.

• The CEIMH Interim Evaluation (2007), reported on the work undertaken by the CEIMH during its first two years (2005-2007) of operation.  This consisted of the report, (this version of the report has been updated since its submission to HEFCE), appendices and a digital documentary of examples of Centre activities and evaluation evidence.

• The Second Evaluation Report (2008) was prepared specifically for the CEIMH to enable reflection on the learning gained from activities undertaken during 2007-2008.

• Embedding Spaces for Change (2010) was the final report to HEFCE and reflects on the achievements, and legacy of CEIMH, as well as the challenges faced by the Centre in developing teaching and learning innovation and 'making mental health visible' in Higher Education.
