ABSTRACT
The main concern of this chapter is the development of trustworthy conclusions from evaluation. This will be addressed in three ways. First, some procedures for assessing trustworthiness will be outlined. Second, some indication will be given of how completed evaluations may be externally audited. Third, the formulation of judgements will be considered as a special case of evaluation conclusions. In particular, the implicit model which underlies the notion of inspectorate judgement will be elaborated. Finally the chapter suggests ways in which the conclusions of evaluation may be reported.
