small improvement in self-confidence for participants

persönliche Entwicklung / Erwerb von sozialen und personalen Kompetenzen

Participation in the intervention is associated with a small improvement in self-reported non-attainment outcomes including self-confidence and teamwork. It is possible that these small effects are an underestimate due to technical issues regarding the groups of children that were compared in the analysis.

Beschreibung der Aktivität

youth social action project delivered by the Youth United Foundation (YUF)
Involved uniformed youth organisations being established in schools in six areas in the north of England; YUF helped to set up new units of The Scout Association, Fire Cadets, Sea Cadets or St John Ambulance in participating schools. The number, duration, and frequency of sessions varied: most groups met weekly, sessions lasted two hours on average, and the average number of sessions in the academic year was 24. Activities were delivered by trained staff from the uniformed youth organisations and in some cases also involved adult volunteers, including teachers.

Evaluierung der Aktivität

Sonstige (nicht kategorisierbar)
This was a simple two-group randomised controlled trial, with randomisation at the school level. School-level randomisation was deemed to be the most appropriate approach by the developers and funders because it would allow for testing the spill-over effects of the uniformed group on the whole cohort within the school, in addition to the impact of actually participating. The plan was to recruit 80 schools in the north of England with 40 schools receiving the intervention and the other 40 providing a control. The intervention started in September 2014 and ended in July 2015.
