Information about Multiply Trials
for Combined & Local Authorities

We are looking to speak with Combined Authorities and Local Authorities  to explore how we can work together to deliver the Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) and Quasi-Experimental Trials (QEDs) in your areas and make sure that your learning organisations benefit from the additional funding and new initiatives being developed.

The Government has invested in the delivery of a suite of RCTs and QEDs as part of the Multiply adult numeracy programme, which aims to improve adult numeracy skills. The trials will test promising approaches to improving adult numeracy and supporting more effective delivery of adult numeracy provision.  

A range of product developers are designing interventions which look like they could make a real difference. These currently include National Numeracy, Campaign for Learning, Mathematics in Education and Industry, and the Education and Training Foundation.  

Benefits

We’re really keen that as many organisations as possible agree to take part in this groundbreaking programme to demonstrate what works to improve adult numeracy skills.

You’ll be making a real difference to adult learners who want to improve their confidence with numbers as well as supporting your local community by ensuring that they are represented within the research and adding to the knowledge of what works.

There are many other benefits too:

  • Organisations involved in the trials can gain visibility and recognition as contributors to research.
  • This positive association may enhance the organisation's reputation and credibility within the industry and among stakeholders.
  • Participation in a trial often involves collaboration with researchers, professionals, and other organisations. This can create networking opportunities and potential collaborations, fostering relationships that may be beneficial in the long term.
  • You’ll be supporting your local community by ensuring that they are represented within the trial taking place and add to the 
    knowledge of what works.
  •  For those already involved in Multiply core delivery this provides an opportunity for you to grow and enhance your provision to reach 
    more adult learners.
