Improving The Hope Of Young People Involved In Serious Violence/CEE

Project Description

In conjunction with the Newcastle Children’s Society services, this research project seeks to understand the effectiveness of the organisation’s current practice in supporting young people affected by serious youth violence (SYV) and child criminal exploitation (CCE), how to further develop practice, and support the setting of standards across the sector more broadly. The specific aims include:

1. To greater understand the changing picture of SYV/CCE in Newcastle and the Northeast of England,
2. To evaluate the principles, approaches, models, and methods used by the Children’s Society to engage with young people affected by SYV/CCE,
3. To assess the impact of the work of the Children’s Society on young people, families, communities, and services,
4. To establish broader practice lessons about supporting young people affected by serious violence (practice standards).
