Entwicklungsprozesse in Organisationen der Jugendarbeit

The Fire Service recruited staff from a variety of backgrounds to form the core RESPECT team. Supported by a project manager, up to seven youth support officers were responsible for delivering the Option One course and working with the On the Streets project. In addition, there was a school liaison officer who had a key role in publicising the programme and working with referrers to ensure that young people were directed to the appropriate Option and that contact was maintained between the referrer and programme before and during a young person’s attendance. The Youth Federation and Halton Youth Service employed staff directly to deliver their elements of the RESPECT programme. These staff were also involved in other aspects of their organisations’ work.

RESPECT Programme
RESPECT was a targeted intervention for young people who were disaffected and/or displayed antisocial behaviour. The programme comprised four elements: • Option One – a disciplined and practical course based around fire service activities; • Option Two – a tailored youth work and informal education programme led by the Youth Federation; • On the Streets – a detached youth work project; • a summer holiday project.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

A three year evaluation was built into the RESPECT bid in order that the individual, community and societal benefits of the programme could be quantified and evidenced. The evaluation employed a range of research tools, methods of data collection and analytical methodologies including individual interviews and focus groups with young people and staff; Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires completed by the young people who took up a place on the course; in-depth questionnaires completed by their support workers and teachers; the analysis of progress sheets that were maintained by staff; graduation surveys completed by parents and carers; observation of activities; RESPECT referrals forms; Social Return on Investment.
