Tool to help youth sector prove its worth unveiled

Moves to boost investment in youth work have taken a step forward with the publication of a guide to help the sector measure outcomes.

Think-tank The Young Foundation has created the document to help providers demonstrate evidence of their impact, by creating standardised measurements across young people's services.

It forms part of the work of the government-funded Catalyst consortium, which is charged with helping the youth sector adapt to the changing policy environment.

Bethia McNeil, co-author of the document at The Young Foundation, said: “The framework offers a common language for talking coherently and consistently about social and emotional capabilities and will increase providers', funders' and commissioners' confidence about value for money. 

“At a time when services that most explicitly focus on supporting personal and social development are under unprecedented financial pressure, the framework is a vital step in helping services to make their case and demonstrate their value.”
