improved educational achievement for youth inspectors

Veränderung der schulischen Leistungen und Perspektiven

The main scope for quantifying benefits is in the area of increased educational achievement resulting from encouragement or skills the YIs received through the programme. The substantial body of academic research has been used to provide a range of estimates of increased earnings that YIs can expect if, as a result of participating in the programme, they reach a higher level of educational achievement. Feedback from the YIs gives some indications of increased achievement.

Youth4U – Young Inspectors (YI) programme
The Youth4U – Young Inspectors programme was implemented and delivered by local authorities or voluntary sector agencies in 33 areas in England. Vulnerable and marginalized young people were recruited and trained as young inspectors whose central task was to undertake inspections of services within their local area and write reports of the inspections which included recommendations for service improvement. The programme included a wide range of services, such as policing, sexual health, transport, leisure, information, guidance and so on. The Inspection techniques used were observation, mystery shopping, interview with the service providers as well as surveys of service users.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

In 2011 NCB published an evaluation report of the Youth4U – Young Inspectors programme. Information for the evaluation was gathered from the following sources: (a) YI baseline survey – a self-completion survey completed by YIs at the end of their training session; (b) YI follow-up survey – completed by a sub-set of YIs at the end of the programme, including the same questions to the baseline survey as well as others on the outcomes of the programme; (c) YI focus groups – incorporated questions and practical activities to gather more in-depth information on issues such as the experience of the YIs in participating in the programme; (d) Local support worker (LSW) monitoring forms – completed on a monthly basis by the LSWs for each YI recruited to the programme.; (e) LSW and senior manager interviews ; (f) Service provider surveys and interviews. The data used in this report are drawn from the results of the NCB Evaluation Report.
