Impact – Quantitative, Qualitative and Anecdotal feedback
Children & Young People Feedback
Children complete evaluation themselves. We used to do this via before-and-after surveys, but found children need time to gain the confidence to admit there’s a problem.
We now use post-support reflection:
Primary | Secondary | Overall | |
Said their self-esteem had increased | 94% | 84% | 90% |
Had better problem-solving skills | 90% | 92% | 91% |
Were better at communicating | 88% | 91% | 89% |
Developed leadership skills | 94% | 93% | 94% |
Had increased aspirations | 83% | 76% | 90% |
