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% |
Parents / Carers Feedback
We use quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Most recently, a representative sample of 40 parents supported during the year, completed an in-depth questionnaire developed by an external evaluator
| Said we helped them communicate more effectively with their child(ren) | 100% |
| Said they coped better with their child(ren) behaviour | 100% |
| Said we helped them inprove their parenting skills | 97% |
| Said they hadd better relationships with their child(ren) | 95% |
| Said they were more confident in supporting their child(ren)’s learning | 96% |
| Said we had helped them access other support they needed. | 78% |
Parent’s comments included
“You’ve given me support to become a better parent and helped me learn new strategies to deal with my children’s behaviour. I feel more relaxed and more confident than I’ve ever done!”
