📊 VIP Evaluation 📊
Rocket Science facilitated a workshop yesterday attended by stakeholders, which will inform the impact evaluation of the VIP intervention. Lots of discussion on how the service works with young people within A&E and custody.

The YEF Toolkit highlights research on restorative justice used in the criminal justice system as on average having a moderate impact on preventing reoffending.
Key points if using this approach:
➡️ Offer restorative justice to children who come into contact with the criminal justice system.
➡️ Do not force participation in restorative justice.
➡️ Prioritise conferencing and victim-perpetrator mediation.
➡️ Prioritise using facilitators who are not from the police.

"I feel so happy here"
Our partnership with @LCFC_Community allows young people to find a safe space where they can leave their troubles at the door.
A parent said "I've never seen my child be somewhere, and not want to leave"
