institutionelle Zusammenarbeit

Young people’s views not only informed the progression of Riverside youth service locally, on a micro-level, but also informed macro-level change through direct lobbying of government to raise awareness of domestic abuse and bring new funding for addressing this issue in Scotland. Involving young people in service development helped create a bespoke youth service.

The research was developed as a case study drawing on ethnographic methods to observe and make sense of the youth work setting. Data were collected using desk-based review of literature and relevant policy documents, face-to-face and telephone interviews and film animation. Semi-structured interviews were carried out with three staff involved in the youth service. Semi-structured interviews were also carried out with six participants and four partner interviews.
