Hybrid work and its practitioners, characterised by unconventional thinking that leads to unexpected discoveries, have their share of problems. Policy and training structures that feed into health, education, the arts and other public services are usually rigid in structure and slow to change their ways of working. This is certainly true of creative hybrid practice, which can be ignored by arts and social policy funding alike. Creative hybrid practice is so new that there is debate as to what constitutes quality and success. Should the work be judged on the process or on the product at the end of the process? It is evident from such debate that new evaluation methods are needed to judge the success or failure of hybrid practice. Watch this space. This is an excerpt of the article featured in Children in Scotland magazine - June 2005 issue - by Jennifer Williams, Executive Director of CCC. Jennifer is a contributor to Working for the future: re-imagining the childrens workforce, a seminar organised by Children in Scotland, the International Futures Forum and the Scottish Council Foundation on behalf of the Scottish Parliaments Futures Forum which took place on 13 June in Edinburgh. A report of the conference will be available from Children in Scotland in September 2005. www.scottish.parliament.uk/nmCentre/futures/
