IMPACT AND ADVICE

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
