The E2E young offenders' pilot project, designed to increase the number of young people accessing education and work-based learning, highlighted the importance of building trust and giving practical help.
Judith Foster, the research manager at the Youth Justice Trust and author of the evaluation, said: "The X factor is treating people with respect.
The Youth Justice Board says 91 per cent of young people leaving prison don't want to return but 84 per cent do within two years. The E2E pilot is trying to find ways to stop reoffending."
The project is funded by the Learning and Skills Council.
