Prävention

The application of the SROI analysis illustrated the value of the benefits accrued in the short term as a result of, in this case, Option One of the RESPECT programme and how, if the outcomes are sustained, the net benefit will increase over time. The structures put into place to help sustain the impact are crucial and a longer term evaluation would be required to establish the extent to which benefits for the individual are maintained. SROI helps to tell the story of the changes that have taken place for the different groups of people who are involved in the project.

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.
The total benefit of the Option One course over four years was as follows: (a) total financial input for the cohort, during 2007/08 (b) net benefit (c ) SROI-ratio (d) net benefit/net present value over four years
