improved relationships between young people and the wider community

gesellschaftliche Stellung bzw. Wahrnehmung

There was evidence that the OTS project’s aim of improving relationships between young people and the wider community had been achieved. The team had facilitated communication with the community centre to promote the ‘youth room’, a move which had improved interaction between the adults who ran the centre and the young people who had started to use it. Young people had also joined the community centre committee which was perceived by those involved to have given it ‘another perspective’. The integration achieved was seen as a positive step because it challenged the adults’ perspectives of young people. Members of the community were more aware that work with young people could have a broader impact.

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.
