improvement of parenting skills and approaches

Erwerb von fach- und bereichsspezifischen Kompetenzen

Parents reported positive changes for themselves, such as greater understanding of what was going on for their children, often linked with improvements in their own parenting skills and approaches. An outcome of this was parents reporting lower levels of stress or anxiety. Parents also stated that the Project assisted them in learning more about issues such as the reasons for offending and the nature of addiction which led to a greater understanding of their children’s needs. This has helped them to deal with and respond to challenging behaviours in a constructive way rather than reacting out of frustration.

Young persons' Restorative Justice Project of La Chéile Mentoring and Youth Justice Support Service in Limerick, Ireland
The Project works hand-in-hand with numerous state and voluntary agencies. This work is delivered through five key models of intervention: restorative conferencing, victim empathy programme (VEP), victim offender mediation (VOM), reparation and victim impact panels (VIPs). The last of these, Victim Impact Panels, are an innovative method of engaging young people in a restorative process through the participation of a proxy victim.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

The methodology designed for the evaluation of Le Chéile’s Project employed a staged approach. First, a review of literature was conducted, covering legislation and policy context, international standards, and evidence of ‘what works’ in restorative justice with children and young people. Additional research was also conducted to support the Social Return on Investment forecast. Next, a stakeholder mapping exercise was undertaken to select interviewees who together could provide as broad as possible a view of the work of Le Chéile’s Project and its effectiveness. Qualitative interviews and focus groups were then held with a range of stakeholders including children and young people, members of their families, the victims, representatives of criminal justice agencies and other professionals, including ‘reparation host agencies' and Le Chéile volunteers.
