Work Place: Course preview - Demonstrating Impact: evidencing theimpact you make

1 min read Youth Work
The context for youth work is changing dramatically. In the new world of commissioning, integrated service delivery and inspection against the five outcomes, it's increasingly important that youth work can articulate its contribution.

This two-day course from FPM is aimed at giving frontline managers the skills to make a clear case for their service and to demonstrate how they contribute to improved outcomes for young people.

FPM trainer Malcolm Rittman says: "Unless youth work is able to show how it is contributing to cross-cutting targets, local authorities are going to ask 'why are we resourcing it?'."

This course focuses on understanding what good youth work is, what processes are needed to support it, and what information helps show that it is effective.

"We'll start by looking at the policy context," explains Rittman. "There will be a short input on this and then we'll explore implications together. We'll be looking at case studies of pieces of youth work, including their Ofsted gradings, and we'll talk about why people think their youth work was rated as good or poor. We will also be using results-based accountability to look at baselines and indicators.
